Better Late Than Never....

NAACP Chairman and Professor at American University Julian Bond asks that Black America tackle the issue of AIDS/HIV. What's absolutely amazing about this short commentary is that the Chairman actually believes that the government has not done enough or was waiting for the government "to do" something about the changing face of the AIDS epidemic. Now black folk must do something to educate themselves about the disease, now black folk must be "open" to the discussion about homosexuality and talk about the low down dirty man on the down low giving black women AIDS.

I guess kudos and a pat on the back is in store for the NAACP. Finally taking on the issue of AIDS, in the black community, after a huge part of the black community is dying from this disease. Is a start. A little late though....
