A part of the black man's African heritage, the sickle cell trait was advantageous because it provided protection against malaria, which was a prominant killing disease in central Africa. The sickle cell disease is inher ited from parents who carry the sickle cell trait, according to a re port of South Carolina Board of Health, Bureau of Maternal and Child Care. About eight per cent of the black population in the United States, or one person in 12 carry the trait. A person can generally go through life without knowing he has the trait, but the carrier can create the disease if he marries another carrier.
