At that time when the white man doctor come to into their community told them he got the federally funded to treat the disease and at the begging of a month he did treatment for them. Thus, Miss Evers play a role as building bridge between the doctor and community people for the prompting informed consent. She was happy and she went into villages to recruit people. She told them they get free treatment from America, which is very effective treatment. Unfortunately, after a month they federally funded dried up. Then the project coordinators decided simply to document the course of the disease to discover if blacks responded to syphilis as did whites. She noticed that they not really gave them treatment, they research experiment to study by give them penicillin. She disbelieving when she realizes that the men will not be treated. She was very angry and she went to talk the doctors. They told her that there is no more money for the treatment, so the best way is they should study them while collecting the funding and they told her that it will take only few months to restore the treatment but it ten years pass.
