On Tuesday, February 7, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz and
Deputy Borough President Yvonne Graham hosted a breakfast at Brooklyn
Borough Hall as part of National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. The Black
Leadership Commission on AIDS of New York City organizes the event each year
to address the disproportionate rates of HIV/AIDS infection among communities
of color, especially in Central Brooklyn, which is the epicenter of the epidemic.
The event also highlighted the commission’s Brooklyn Lives Project, an education
and testing initiative focused on Brooklynites of color.

conjunction with the National Black Leadership Commission on AIDS (NBLCA) and
the Latino Commission on AIDS to create the spots.

NEW ORLEANS (FinalCall.com) - For three days, a diverse collective of leaders,
activists and professionals convened here during a special initiative aimed to take
back Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy of fighting for social justice, by drawing
attention again to the Hurricane Katrina disaster and its impact on hundreds of
thousands of Blacks, poor people and people of color in the city and Gulf region.
Helping to draw that line in the sand were over a dozen national organizations
that included the National Black Leadership Commission on AIDS, Inc.

Debra Fraser-Howze, who heads the National Black Leadership Commission on AIDS,
returned to New York from South Africa a few days ago. She was still steaming
about Zuma's comments and the disservice he did to the cause of AIDS prevention.
Because Zuma is so popular as a politician, especially among the Zulus who see him
as their historic presidential candidate, she said, "it was such a lost opportunity to
educate people in a nation ravaged by AIDS.
