Jeanne White-Ginder is the mother of Ryan White, the young hemophiliac who contracted HIV/AIDS from a blood transfusion and died in 1990 at age 18. During his life he was both the viictim of rampant discrimination and the face of people living with AIDS. He remains an important historical figure in the history of HIV/AIDS, and the federal program that supports anti-retroviral therapy and prevention efforts is named after him. Mrs. White-Ginder led the anti-discrimnation fight in his life time (winning him the right to return to public school after his diagnosis and a long fight), and she has continued to be an outspoken advocate for people with AIDS and, more recently, against bullying.   103 Parks Hall The STEAM Factory at The Ohio State University steamfactory@osu.edu America/New_York public
