my act

so me, j'mag, talor, and talor's sister all wore shirts with a picture of african and the words africa and aids on them. the map showed the density of aids in africa and how in south africa there were a ton of people who had aids. the reaction we got, or that i got wasn't really anything out of the ordinary, people looked maybe they read the shirt but i don't think they got anything out of it, i don't think it made them think anymore about aids in africa than they did in the 5 seconds before they saw the shirts. most people know many people in africa have aids or are hiv+ so it's not really anything crazy/radical that they were like woah omg, i need to help out with that. but the shirts did help rais awarness even if it was just to a few people who may have already known. overall i think the project was good and we should have more like it.
