A 2-year-old boy
will join more than 100 AIDS activists convening to the
Alabama RV park where he was turned away from using the
shared pool and showers because he is HIV-positive.
Caleb Glover and
his adoptive parents Silvia and Dick were vacationing at
the Wales West RV Park in July when site owner Ken Zadnichek
turned the family away. Since then, Zadnichek has
apologized and welcomed the activists to a "Family
Reunion" organized by the Campaign to End AIDS this
Labor Day.
Larry Bryant, the
leader of the organization, said in a statement that he
is looking forward to shining a spotlight on the intolerance
the disease brings. "What happened at Wales West
proves that we still have to fight stigma and
discrimination against people with HIV/AIDS. (The
