AIDS Orphans (1223)

This program examines the AIDS epidemic and how it has left many inner cities caring for children whose caregivers have died from AIDS related illnesses. Over ten thousand have already been orphaned in New Jersey and the state estimates the number will nearly double by the year 2001. We discuss why this crisis is in desperate need of more attention with advocates who are involved in organizations faced with its challenges.

Studio guests - Philip Hilton, Vice President, Fund Development & Communications, National Black Leadership on AIDS - Martha Saldariagga, Executive Director, KIDS CONNECTION
