The quote comes from the start of Larry Kramer\u2019s first article on AIDS, \u201cA Personal Appeal\u201d published in August 1981 in the New York Native<\/em>, a gay newspaper of the time. This year marks the 40th anniversary of those first reports of the disease that became known as AIDS. NBC\u2019s Bill Goldstein<\/strong>, who is writing a biography of the activist and playwright, will discuss Kramer\u2019s early calls to community activism that summer and fall, drawing largely on Kramer's unpublished letters and journals. Bill Goldstein will be in conversation with Dave Harper, Executive Director of the New York City AIDS Memorial.<\/strong><\/p>\n

More about Bill Goldstein.<\/a><\/p>\n

Meet at New York City AIDS Memorial, corner of 12th Street and Greenwich Avenue, 6pm.<\/em><\/p>\n

This event is free to attend. Booking a ticket is essential.<\/strong><\/h4>\n
