December 11th, 2007

Last week, in conjunction with World AIDS Day nearly 20 bloggers participated in Black Blogging To End AIDS.

AIDS Graphic

First congratulations to all the participants in the campaign who can be seen in totality in the comments of the above link.

We all have to continue to raise our voices and take actions to increase AIDS awareness, increase understanding, and decrease stigma; especially for we Black folk with our particular issues here in the United States, as well as the Motherland Africa. And yes, Africa is our Motherland - those our cousins.

I can’t emplore you enough to watch the fantastic program The Age of AIDS; which can be seen online for free.

See the trailer:

    Very good work. I watched this

    Positive Voices: Women and HIV

    on Showtime the other night. I don’t know how available it is online. I’ll look tomorrow, but it was very good and some very salient points were made about how we see commercials and commentary constantly about finding cures and treating Diabetes, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, impotence, Heart Disease and so on and yet we see rare commercial about AIDS.
