black men on the politics of hiv/aids




Last night's panel discussion was productive. Kwame Banks, Mark McLaurin, Dr. Darrelle Wheeler and Keith Boykin were all fabulous co-horts for the discussion. Thanks to those who were able to attend, we had a pretty nice crowd in the architecturally saavy Kate Murphy Amphitheatre on 27th street.

Here are a few photos of us "in action" taken by promoter Nathan Scott. I'll have more later on what I discussed/how the event went, next steps, etc.

In the meantime Keith has taken followed up some of last night's discussion with an interesting new post on "Unraveling the AIDS Mystery." Take a look.






Please give us a recap when you get a chance.

You've got a really wonderful blog here Frank. I like the depth of insight, social critiques and vibrant commentary. I look forward to seeing more of your posts.

Thank you so much for posting the flyer. It was nice to be in a room with black men passionate about the AIDS Epidemic in our community.

I must say you had many valid points!

Frank you are giving me,"Cute, comfortable, intellectual" in the pics.

No but seriously as we all know aids and the black male is an important issue and I am always glad to see people who are in a position to question address it; keep doing your thing Frank you know i am a fan.
