What’s Going On: Black Blogging To End AIDS Final Wrap Up

by vivrant thang on the aids crisis

Mother, mother
There’s too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There’s far too many of you dying
You know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some lovin’ here today

This is my sixth and final post for the Black blogger call-to-action, Black Blogging to End AIDS. You can find all the posts here.

I have truly learned a lot this week and I am so glad to have stumbled on to The Black Perspective in time to participate in this important effort. It really meant a lot to me to pay homage to the memory of my family members in some small way.

From the comments, I know at least a few people have read the information. It all starts with just one person.

I just want to call attention to a few more resources that I’ve come across:

• Visit Avert, a UK based AIDS charity working towards preventing the spread of AIDS on a global level. Read stories from women and men all over the globe that are infected.
• Pick up Not In My Family: Aids in the African American Community book and companion CD
• Read Sheneska Jackson’s Lil Mama’s Rules, which is almost ten years old but so very current
• “Before you have sex again,” view the independent film, One Week. I saw this movie years ago and it’s still with me.
• Check back here under the AIDS crisis category for more on this crisis in our community. It’s not going away so I’ll have to keep talking about it.

Remember
