Tonight we hosted Marvelyn Brown, author of The Naked Truth. The program was sponsored by the Arkansas Department of Health and the Arkansas Minority Health Commission. I read a little of her book last night knowing that I could not attend her lecture, but her story could be that of any college woman. She was 19, met a 23 year old, had unprotect sex with him twice, and became infected with HIV. She represents the new face of HIV/AIDS- black women. You may have seen her on CNN's Black in America this summer (and again recently). My wife attended her lecture and felt that she was very effective since she is just like anyone else her age. I'll have to ask some of the students who attended about their impressions.

At least I did get my book signed.
