28: Stories of AIDS in Africa
The African bureau chief of Toronto’s Globe & Mail tells us about writing 28 individual portraits of Africans living with HIV and AIDS. Then, Khaled Hosseini talks about the follow-up to his bestselling debut The Kite Runner. Later on, we re-examine Aaron Burr’s controversial legacy. And we ask whether environmental activism is tied to a larger social justice movement.
