After reading an article about Ruth Coker Burks and her work with AIDS patients in the '80s and '90s, Nick reached out to this modern-day saint to see if she would be interested in sharing her story with The Source. She said, "YES"!!! In this talk, she shares how her work began, about the love and loss of thousands of men, death and dying, and the importance of keeping this history alive. Silence still equals death.
