"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere" - Martin Luther King, Jr.
Background
One thing I love about America’s history is how young people across our country have stood up and taken action on things that were wrong – civil rights, gay rights, womens rights, the end of Vietnam war – we are NOT powerless – if we all come together we can change the world. Its incredibly wrong what’s going on in Africa. The AIDS pandemic is on an EPIC scale because the peoplle have been unlucky to be born into poverty…that’s wrong. HIV/AIDS is the issue of our generation. It doesn’t have to be this way.
