Not in My Family: AIDS in the African American Community
Book Tour

The HIV/AIDS crisis has touched African-Americans disproportionately. Many families have suffered, but those of us who have not had first-hand experience cannot afford to be complacent either. Odds are that someone we know will either contract HIV/AIDS,Ê or have a loved one who does. Gil Robertson is to be congratulated and encouraged in sharing the experiences of families touched by this. We look forward to seeing the results of his work.
