These public exhibits of humans, often called Negro Villages, usually showed indigenous people in a so-called natural or primitive state. The displays often emphasized the cultural differences between Europeans of Western civilization and non-European peoples. Above is a photo from Amsterdam Holland around 1890, of an African child in one of these Human Zoo exhibits, being fed like an animal by white spectators.

For 40 years between 1932 & 1972,  U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) conducted an experiment on 399 black men in the late stages of syphilis. These men were never told what disease they were suffering from. Told they were being treated for “bad blood,” their doctors had no intention of curing them of syphilis. Left to degenerate under the ravages of tertiary syphilis, doctors involved explained, “we have no further interest in these patients until they die.” Black History Month, Minions, Tuskegee, Black Knowledge, We Are The World, African Diaspora
