Amazing Ceremony for World AIDS Day

New Yorkers, celebrities, politicians and good will ambassadors came out in force for the 21st anniversary of World AIDS Day. They gathered in Washington Square Park for amfAR’s "Light For Rights" ceremony, which recognized the 33 million people who are currently infected with the disease worldwide.

Susan Sarandon talked about the friends she lost. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and NYC City Council Speaker Christine Quinn recognized the millions who do not have proper help. Perhaps the most moving remarks came from Tembeni Fazo – who’s home in Zimbabwe was burnt down after she was diagnosed as HIV-positive.

OURsceneTV’s Blake Hayes was at the ceremony and watched as NYC dimmed the lights of Broadway, the Empire State Building, the arch in Washington Square and around the world to represent the more than 25 million lives that were lost to AIDS.
