Researchers affiliated with the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), selected 88 test subjects at the University of Cincinnati and exposed them without consent to hefty doses of radiation under the direction of Dr. Eugene Saenger between 1960 and 1971.
Saenger picked test subjects from poor, mostly non-white groups, without informed consent. Some were dosed with radiation for a solid hour, during which time they were exposed to the equivalent of 20,000 chest X-rays.
Patients died as a direct result of the tests, and the rest suffered through symptoms of radiation sickness: nausea, uncontrollable vomiting, severe mental confusion, loss of hair, loss of appetite, loosened teeth, and mouth ulcers.
Dr. Saenger, a graduate of Harvard Medical School, had a 30-year teaching career which was unblemished by any hint of scandal. He won many awards for his pioneering research and lived as a pillar of his community, dying in 2007, at the age of 90.
Dr. Saenger received a gold medal for “career achievements” from the Radiological Society of North America.
Reality Decoded 
These experiments were obviously inappropriate, but some effort was made to justify them as beneficial to the patient. Racist? I don’t know. People looking for free medical treatment will generally be poor. My guess is that there were poor blacks living near where the research was done. When people do this sort of thing, they choose their victims based upon their defenselessness.
At the time the research was done, there was much uncertainty about the affects of radiation. it would be interesting to how much animal testing the researchers did before trying their tests on people. Doubt the results would be much different.

These tests were not racist but they were race biased which is a slight difference in nuance. The target was poor people who were mostly black due to other practices which may or may not have been racist in nature.
My article was more focused on the fact that after killing many people (both black and white) he was made a hero.
This should never happen in America since it is a clear violation of the law, our constitution and, for a large number of people, their religion.
There is a case where tests were clearly racist in nature: https://realitydecoded.blog/2018/02/20/399-black-men-tortured-by-7-us-surgeon-generals-for-40-years-without-rest-within-the-us-and-backed-by-the-cdc/

His name came up in the research that Aaron & Melissa Dykes did for their The Minds of Men documentary covering MKULTRA.
