This novella tells the story of an African-American man accused of spreading AIDS in New England. His lawyer takes the bold step of turning the tables on the government. He tries to convince the jury that everything the government has told the public about AIDS is a racist, homophobic lie. The reader is put in the jury box and has to decide if most of what we have been told about AIDS is false.

This review is from: The Closing Argument (Paperback)
The Closing Argument is a compelling controversial meltdown of the government's HIV-AIDS pogrom. Every African-American should keep this book next to their Bible.
