Teen AIDS Survivor Will Speak to Youths

October 25, 2001

Hydeia Broadbent, a 17-year-old AIDS activist, will give the keynote speech at the 2nd annual Mayor's Teen Summit on Saturday, Oct. 27, at the Murat Centre, 502 N. New Jersey St. in Indianapolis. Broadbent, who was born with HIV, was orphaned at 6 weeks and has lived with AIDS since she was 5 years old. Her adoptive parents, with philanthropists William and Claire Sams-Milligant, created the Hydeia L. Broadbent Foundation in 1993 to promote AIDS awareness. The event, sponsored by Mayor Bart Peterson and the Mayor's Youth Council, will run from noon to 6 p.m. Doors will open at 11 a.m. The summit will offer workshops and conclude with a peace rally at 5:25 p.m. Admission is free.
