In this episode, Steve Morrison and Andrew Schwartz speak with Kenneth Cole, the iconic fashion designer and HIV/AIDS activist. They discuss the unprecedented campaign launched in the mid-1980s which used advertising platforms in bold and provocative ways to confront the stigma and silence surrounding HIV/AIDS in New York City. Cole shares what motivated him to become an HIV activist, the continued imperative of educating younger generations about the risk of HIV, and the continued need for bipartisan leadership.
