miss Evers boys

Miss Evers’ boys is a story about a horrible situation that took place over fourteen years. Before going to this play, I thought I have heard it all about how cruel the American government could be. But to my surprise, I didn’t.

This story is about Nurse Evers, who wants to rid the world if diseases. She mets these four men who all have syphilis and they don’t know it. Miss Evers persuades them to participate in this study that would cure them of the disease. But after some time the government declared syphilis as a black mans disease. Miss Evers is forced to lit to the men and tell them they are being cured but in fact they are not. They are frd arsenic and rubber tainted with mercury.

Miss Evers formed a close bond with the four men, but overtime they friendship was broken due to lies and fear. This story is a prime example of how the American government can justify anything they want to make is seem as if they were trying to do good. America makes exceptions for what they want to. This was a medical experiment for them, but in another country it world be considered and attempted genocide.

This was a gripping story and I am truly amazed at some of the things that went on that I never knew about,
