The Brothas Group HIV Educational Forum: HIV and Aging

On Tuesday, January 12 The Brothas Group will host an HIV Educational Forum on HIV and Aging.

Recent research data now proves that persons with HIV age faster than the normal population. Whether you are younger, older, or in-between, this is a concern for everyone who lives with HIV.

The forum will be presented by Ken Lichtenstein, MD at Our Saviors Lutheran Community Room at 9th and Emerson in downtown Denver at 6:30 p.m.

A free dinner will be provided at 6 p.m.

A letter from The Brothas Group: Whites Only pools are not to be tolerated

From The Brothas Group:

Two weeks ago outside Philadelphia, sixty-five children from a summer camp tried to go swimming at a club their camp had a contract to use. Evidently, the club didn't know the kids were largely Black.

When the campers entered the pool, White parents took their kids out of the water, and the swimming club's staff asked the campers to leave. The next day, the club told the summer camp that their membership would be canceled and that they would refund their money. When asked why, the club's leader said the "kids would change the complexion ... and the atmosphere of the club."1

A "Whites Only" pool in 2009 should not be tolerated. The club's actions appear to be a violation of section 1981 of the Civil Rights Act.2 Whether or not any laws were violated, a "Whites only" pool should be something every American condemns.

Please join us in doing exactly that, and please email your friends and family and invite them to do the same. Your signature will also be used to call on the Department of Justice to evaluate suing the facility under federal law. It takes just a moment to do both, here:
