“because some people did not use their voice, did not speak up, were silent, it has become, and still is, horrible for all of us. Forty years later, AIDS in America is still here. Raise your voice, do the work, decriminalize it, and open up your heart and your minds to people who do not look like you." ~ Sheryl Lee Ralph @betterbrothersla celebrated @thesherylleeralph at The Elizabeth Taylor Ball to END AIDS gala. On September 15, The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation (ETAF) honored Emmy-winning actress Sheryl Lee Ralph with the Elizabeth Taylor Commitment to End AIDS Award for her tireless work to fight for a cure.
