Racism, Denialism and Déjà Vu

More Talk On AIDS Action
In a follow-up to last week's lead story, "Leading Advocate Resigns from AIDS Action Council," Craig Miller emailed POZ to "thank you for your interest in my resignation from the AIDS Action Foundation Board of Directors and my reasons for it."
He also begged to differ on a few points, most notably that in our piece, POZ had Miller saying AAC head Marsha Martin had refused to address "her own Board's concerns." In fact, Miller wrote, he knew of only one board member—himself—whom Martin had failed to get back to after promising to do so.
