Beschreibung:
Ryan White (1971-1990) was a courageous young man whose autobiography, Ryan White: My Own Story, recounts his HIV/AIDS diagnosis at age 13 and his fight against AIDS-related discrimination in his Indiana community. White and his mother, Jeanne White-Ginder, gained national attention and became the face of public education about HIV/AIDS when they rallied for his right to attend school. The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program is the biggest federal program dedicated explicitly to providing HIV treatment and care services to people with HIV/AIDS.
The New York Times bestseller and poignant story of courage by one of the most inspiring heroes of our time. In this heartbreaking chronicle, Ryan White, who died of AIDS in 1990, tells of his attempts to deal with the prejudice, ignorance, and fear of his neighbors and schoolmates, while fighting the deadly illness.
