‘They said I wouldn’t be here, but last Friday I celebrated my 50th birthday’

SOUNDBITES — “They said I wouldn’t be here, but last Friday I celebrated my 50th birthday. A lot has changed since I announced. We now have a major problem in urban American, in inner cities — the face of AIDS has changed from a gay white man’s disease to a black and Latino disease. And if we don’t get the black church involved, there is no way we can bring these numbers [of new HIV cases] down.” —Former basketball pro Magic Johnson, speaking Sunday at the HIV Prevention Conference in Atlanta [SoVo]
