Host, Adam Sommer, is joined by Steven Reigns, a poet & author to discuss Steven's latest project "A Quilt For David" - a sincere attempt to tell the full story surrounding David Acer, a dentist in Florida accused of infecting his patients with HIV in the early 1990's, the first allegation coming while David lay dying of his own AIDS related illness. As a gay man at the time, David's illness made him an obvious target for blame. David didn't get a chance to complete his own defense, to tell his own story. Steven's decade of work attempts to do just that.
