Left Behind - Black America: A Neglected Priority
Were Black America a country on its own, it would undoubtedly attract the concern and strategic focus of the U.S. government. It is both a tragedy and an outrage that it has failed to do so simply because its AIDS epidemic occurs within the borders of the U.S. For the U.S. government to have credibility as a genuine leader in the global AIDS response, it needs to lead the response to AIDS at home.

The NIA Plan
The NIA Plan is a blueprint for action. "Nia," a Swahili word that means "purpose," is one of the seven principles of the African-American holiday Kwanzaa. It is an apt name for this report.
