Good morning and welcome to Insight a show about empowering our community. I’m Loraine Ballard Morrill. I’m so excited because we are broadcasting live from the 2019 AIDS Walk as we do every year – so much to talk about – including the possibility we could get to zero infections, zero stigma and zero deaths in our lifetime. Who would have thought that in the 80s. Insight by the way is sponsored by the American association for Cancer research. They are the first and biggest cancer research foundation in the world based right there in Philly. You want to support the scientists working on curing cancers. Give to the AACR got to AACR.org/donate.

Before we get into the broadcast I’m going to play excerpts from an interview with Ben Crump- the author of - Open Season: Legalized Genocide Of Colored People who will be in town tomorrow for an open discussion at WHYY studios where discusses his inspiring journey working on some of the most high profile cases to rock the nation including those of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown. The talk takes place Monday 10/21/19 from 6-8 pm at WHYY, Inc 150 North 6th Street, Philadelphia 19106. Tickets are available at why.org/events.

But first a preview of next week’s live broadcast at the 2019 Lupus Loop with
