Episode 80

Music from the Frontlines of the HIV Epidemic (Guest: stephen hicks)

Published on: 2nd December, 2022

This World AIDS Day, DJ Sir Daniel and Jay Ray are dedicating the show to the music that helped educate and inform during the height of the HIV epidemic of the 1980s and 1990s. There is no justice movement that emerges without art, and many musicians turned HIV activists during the most difficult years. Black artists were absolutely on the frontlines demanding money for research and treatment and educating the community.

Joining us for this conversation is stephen hicks.
