End Game: AIDS in Black America
A new Frontline documentary, Endgame: AIDS in Black America, explores why the HIV epidemic is so much more prevalent in the African-American community than among whites. The film is produced, written and directed by Renata Simone, whose series The Age of AIDS appeared on Frontline in 2006.
Laurie Abraham’s article “Teaching Good Sex” in the New York Times magazine 11.16.11 is a brief and distressing look at sex education in America. I completely agree with Susie Bright, who wrote: “The poignant part to me is that “objective, thoughtful” sex education is only available to the very privileged, and those whom society wants to throw away. Everyone in the middle can just get stuffed with lies and nonsense.”
The Guardian’s article (“Wilhelm Reich: The Man Who Invented Free Love”) about Christopher Turner’s new book is a fascinating review of the subject and the history of sex and the sexual revolution. What’s perhaps, most intriguing is how far we’ve come and not quite succeeded in understanding and embracing sexual freedoms.
