During a speech Monday in Mexico City, former President Bill Clinton promised to direct his charitable foundation’s resources toward AIDS in the United States, with a focus on black Americans, reports The Washington Post.
Mr. Clinton cited new data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — which suggest that AIDS cases in the United States have been underestimated by 40 percent — as one of the reasons for his foundation’s new focus. He did not provide specifics about how his organization plans to tackle the issue.
