Celebrity Tour on World AIDS Day

November 25, 2002

Six months after traveling to four African countries with Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill, U-2 singer Bono is teaming up with actress Ashley Judd on a one-week bus tour of seven U.S. cities and towns to spread the message about Africa's HIV/AIDS plight. The tour will start on World AIDS Day, Dec. 1, in Lincoln, Neb., then head to Iowa City, Louisville, and four other cities for town-hall type meetings at universities, churches, and other venues, said Jamie Drummond, who works closely with Bono. Among the participants will be Agnes Nyamayarwo, an HIV-positive Ugandan woman who moved many to tears on the Bono-O'Neill tour with the tale of how the disease devastated her family.
