It was the beginning of what became a worldwide health crisis that the US government ignored for years and that unfairly heightened prejudice against the LGBTQ+ community. To this day, the AIDS Crisis continues to disproportionately affect both the LGBTQ+ community and people of color. Nico Medina has written an accurate and affecting history of a terrible time, spotlighting the heroic efforts of AIDS activists who fought for medical research and new medicines, for proper health care for patients, and for compassionate recognition of people with AIDS.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNico Medina is the author of several Who HQ books, including \u003ci\u003eWhat Was Stonewall?, Who Is RuPaul\u003c\/i\u003e?, \u003ci\u003eWhere Is Alcatraz\u003c\/i\u003e?, \u003ci\u003eWho Was Aretha Franklin?\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eWhat Was the Ice Age?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 112\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 7.4 x 5.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 10, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51766949839136,"sku":"9780593227022","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/58cb4288377bfc1d21d736cb6e176f0e_fc916251-eb09-4def-a298-e287c5cd3fe2.webp?v=1780301583","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/what-is-the-aids-crisis-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
