I hope he left us his courage, I hope we practice his bravery. We (black folks)must stand together when we see wrongful practices being experimented on our people, no matter what their social status. I PRAY there are still some more men and women out here like MR. JENKINS ready to fight the battle no matter how long it will take for the win. One will always celebrate and remember this KING of a man..THANK U..THANK U....THANK U...MANY PRAYERS and BLESSINGS ❤❤

I saw a play about this government study many years ago but never forgot how it made me feel. I left feeling this was horrible and had the feeling it was already done and over with. I guess it wasn't. Thank God for a man like Bill Jenkins.

We send our condolences to the family and friends of Mr Jenkins. He was a brave man to do what he did for humanity, the rights of humans in general. One day we want have to suffer from inequality because God's government will be the ruling power over the whole Earth and we know that Acts 10:34 says,"God is not partial." We will live in a righteous world. God love you.

I extend my condolences to the family and friends of Mr Jenkins. He was a brave man and a true hero to take a stand for his fellow human beings for truth and justice in a country where things like human rights violations should never occur, but still do to this very day. This world needs to follow his example and do what is right, as he did.

I didn't know Mr. Jenkins but I heard about his tireless efforts to bring to light
the wrong and inhumane ways so many young black men had to deal with, this took tremendous courage on Mr. Jenkins part. May his legacy be past on to the next generation of young minds. Deepest condolences to the family and friends during this most difficult time. There are no words that can ease the pain of losing a beloved one. May you find comfort and peace in knowing that your loved one is in God's memory. Psalms 116: 15
