Washington, D.C. The very city that is home to the capitol of the most powerful country in the world has an HIV/AIDS rate that is not only the nation’s highest, but rivals some African countries. “The Other City” introduces us to the people who live in the shadow of the Capitol but remain almost invisible to the lawmakers and lobbyists who live there. It’s about politics and ideology, corruption and bureaucracy, and an epidemic that grew out of control while few people paid any attention or cared.

Great article- very much on the topic Dr. Gee discussed during her awesome lecture today on improving birth outcomes, especially among certain populations.

Nationally, black babies are twice as likely as white infants to die before age 1. In Pittsburgh, where the racial disparity is even sharper, health officials face many hurdles.
