Kick it with DJ Frek-a-lek for a night of ‘90s music and more, hosted by the Arkansas Black Gay Men’s Forum in observance of National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day.

First observed in 1999, NBHAAD is an opportunity to increase HIV education, testing, community involvement, and treatment among Black communities.
