Join us on Dec. 1, 2015 at Dillard High School from 3:30 to 6 p.m. for our World AIDS Day Community Event titled “Getting to Zero, Because You Matter: Creating an AIDS Free Generation” sponsored by AHF, MODCO, and Broward County.

Students from Maryland’s four historically Black colleges and universities—the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Bowie State University, Coppin State University and Morgan State University—participated in the event, which included a spoken-word competition; breakout sessions on hip-hop, sexual health and HIV/AIDS prevention; and performances by local hip-hop artists
