A Year Like No Other, An Uphill Battle of Survival

Dear Friends and Supporters,

More than ever we're grateful for our incredible community of supporters and volunteers who have stood by our side as we navigated this unsettling and disorienting year as a global pandemic and rising action against racial inequality took center stage. Although the related effects of both may not be fully realized for years to come, our attention hones in on the present need of survival. As 2020 comes to a close and you consider your year-end giving, will you join us in preserving history by making an impactful, tax-deductible contribution to the Tuskegee Human and Civil Rights Multicultural Center, now known as the Tuskegee History Center?

Tuskegee Syphilis Study: Back 'In the News'

Information or mis-information? As I read and watch national news and become aware of social media trending topic discussions, I have noticed the Tuskegee Syphilis Study is often mentioned in stories about Covid-19 and African American mistrust in government, the medical community, and the healthcare industry. Disparities of all kinds have and still do plague America's minority and poor communities.

Education is vital. Now, more than ever, we need your support to help us continue educating the public on the history behind this infamous study. We must not forget what happened. We must share the facts. We must make sure that a tragedy like the Tuskegee Syphilis Study never happens again.

Your generous tax deductible donation, at any level, is appreciated.

2021: An Uphill Battle of Survival

As we are in the midst of a pandemic that has increased the demand and need for Tuskegee Syphilis Study education, programs, and services, the Center faces deep financial hardships and negative operational impacts - reduced hours, limited visitation, staff reduction, volunteer unavailability, and a shift to virtual service offerings.

Your contributions and CARES Act related grants helped the Center survive this unprecedented year. With government funding support coming to an end on December 30, our attention focuses on surviving into 2021 and beyond.

Though we do not know what the future will hold, we do know that only with your support will we be able to fulfill our mission. I ask that you join us in ensuring that the history and facts of the Tuskegee Syphilis Study are not forgotten, the contributions of Tuskegee and Macon County are shared to the nation and the world, and the Tuskegee History Center continues to serve us all.

I thank you in advance for your support.

Fred D. Gray
