AIDS Is a White Man's Disease HIV Public Health This poster is part of the "Famous Last Words" campaign developed in the late 1980s by the People of Color Against AIDS (now known as the People of Color Against AIDS Network), a community-based advocacy group that provided comprehensive AIDS/HIV education and prevention models for all communities of color. Responding to common beliefs that AIDS was not a threat to minority communities, People of Color Against AIDS encouraged individuals to overcome false assumptions while adopting behaviors based on the information provided. The poster challenges the reactionary rhetoric associated with stereotyping by disparaging the association of AIDS with the "white man." The presentation starkly reminds the viewer of the consequences of this misconception by suggesting these are "famous last words.". NOTE: Original is slightly blurry.
