In 1974, Gary Tyler was a Black student bussed into a newly desegregated Louisiana high school. When a white mob attacked his bus and a white student was killed, Gary was wrongfully sentenced to death by an all white jury.

For the first time since 1993, the Trump admin has issued instructions *not* to commemorate World AIDS Day.
Erasing our history won’t erase the epidemic. Silence = Death.

Deb Haaland is a member of the Pueblo of Laguna and in 2021 made history as the first Native American to serve as a cabinet secretary.
