The U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) employs Dr. Roscoe Brown, leader of the Negro Health Movement, to begin working through their system rather than as a separate movement. Brown will maintain the Negro Health newsletter and other public education materials, but largely becomes a figure of the state, as opposed to leading an organization that puts pressure on the state. The Negro Health Movement will maintain a close association with the Tuskegee Institute, and the federal government's endorsement of Booker T. Washington's philosophy will be made explicit in the slogan: "Help yourself and your community to better health."
