“The 46664 message is one that needs to be heard in every corner of our country, and indeed, the world,” said a spokesman through a press release. “These artists between them reach into every one of our
communities—upholding Mr. Mandela’s message that HIV AIDS is not a
local issue, but a universal one.”
