Glover Discusses AIDS in Africa

Associated Press - Monday November 20, 2000


JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) - Danny Glover appealed to South Africans on Monday to join together to fight AIDS (news - web sites) raging throughout the country.

"It's going to take all of us to fight this and deal with this. The need is enormous," the "Lethal Weapon" star said.

Glover, a goodwill ambassador for the U.N. Development Program, spoke at a center for HIV-infected mothers and children. He wiped away tears as he received gifts from some of the children.

Roughly 4.2 million South Africans have the AIDS virus, the largest population of HIV-infected people in the world.
