Registration and Magic Johnson
Hello all!
Today we visited the Westin Diplomat Convention Center to register before the conference officially begins tomorrow morning. We all recognized many familiar faces from HIV/AIDS organizations around the country. There are approximately 3,300 people registered!
Tonight Earwin "Magic" Johnson addressed participants in an informal, "rally" atmosphere. Dr. Benny Primm, one of the nation's leading medical and environmental HIV/AIDS experts, introduced the well-recognized spokesperson on HIV awareness. Magic spoke about his education and philanthropic endeavors, and encouraged everyone to share as much information as possible during the conference. Attendees were quite inspired by his presence and stories of survival.
Stay tuned for more gathered information as the conference officially kicks off with tomorrow's breakfast plenary featuring Kweisi Mfume, U.S. Senate Candidate (Maryland) and Former President of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Sheryl Lee Ralph, National Minority AIDS Council Spokesperson, and Jeanne White-Ginder, mother of Ryan White. The day will then consist of various six-hour institutes where we will surely begin gathering answers to many of your thoughful questions.
Stay tuned...
