Answer to Question 1

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should:
1. Define the Tuskegee study as a racial experiment that violated state and federal laws for forty years.
2. Explain that the study reveals the racist and class-based attitudes towards poor blacks in particular.
3. Note that the hiring of a black nurse to gain the men's trust including her lying to the black sharecroppers, revealing the exploitation of working class blacks by other blacks for monetary gain and the intentional exploitation of the black victims by the medical community.
4. Conclude that the Tuskegee study reveals the manipulation of poor people of color by the medical community for gains primarily for the white community.

Answer to Question 2

Ideal Answer: The ideal answer should:
1. Explain that the Communist Party took up the Scottsboro Boys' case immediately, paid for their attorneys, and helped the defendants get a fair trial and eventual release in the 1940s.
2. Note that the Communist Party derived enormous benefits from linking itself to the controversial case. It demonstrated the harsh racial policies of social whites and the inability of either party to protect black agricultural workers in the South.
3. Conclude that the Communist Party helped to advertise the Scottsboro Boys' case and gave it international notoriety which brought international pressure to bear upon Alabama to free them.
