23 Black Lesbian R&B Singers Who Died From HIV/AIDS

23 Black Lesbian R&B Singers Who Died From HIV/AIDS They were once legends with packed tours. But when they were found to be HIV positive, the world turned its back on them. These black R&B singers once reached the top, selling millions of records, being called “the breath of the century” by experts. And then… they disappeared quietly because of the most terrifying disease of the 20th century, combined with silent discrimination. A famous artist in New York died after many years of fighting HIV, without relatives, without a funeral. Another, after revealing that she was a lesbian and HIV positive, was cut from all contracts and died in poverty. And those are just two small slices of the tragic picture. The 23 stories behind them are more tear-jerking than any movie you have ever seen. And if you feel they deserve to be remembered, please like and share so that more people can understand them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #memorylane #blackcelebrities
