. . #RyanWhite (December 6, 1971 – April 8, 1990) was a teenager from Kokomo, Indiana, who was expelled from his school due to his HIV status. He died when he was only 18 years old. . White is buried in Cicero, close to the former home of his mother. In 1991, his grave was vandalized on four occasions. . White, a hemophiliac, contracted HIV through a blood transfusion. He was diagnosed in December 1984 and told that he had only 6 months left to live. . Doctors stated that White posed no risk to other pupils. However, when he attempted to return to school, many parents and teachers protested against his attendance due their concerns that he could transmit the virus through casual contact. . The dispute made news headlines around the world and turned White into an advocate for AIDS research and education. . White lived 5 years longer than predicted by his doctors but he sadly died just one month before his high school graduation. . Over 1,500 people attended White's funeral on April 11, 1990 at the Second Presbyterian Church on Meridian Street, Indianapolis. White's pallbearers included Sir @EltonJohn, #HowieLong and #PhilDonahue. Sir @EltonJohn performed a song he wrote in 1969, Skyline Pigeon, at the funeral (White inspired him to create @ejafdn). The funeral was also attended by @MichaelJackson and First Lady #BarbaraBush. . On the day of the funeral, former President Ronald Reagan wrote a tribute to White that appeared in The Washington Post. . Reagan's statement about AIDS and White's funeral were seen as an indication of how much White had helped change the public’s view of AIDS. Especially, when considering Reagan’s indifference to the virus — by the time he finally addressed the epidemic in 1987 — nearly 23,000 Americans had already perished. . “For just a Skyline Pigeon Dreaming of the open Waiting for the day That he can spread his wings And fly away again Fly away, skyline pigeon fly Towards the dreams You've left so very far behind..” . #whatisrememberedlives #theaidsmemorial #aidsmemorial #neverforget #endaids .

This is beyond BAD ASS!!! Everyone pretty much knows I'm a die-hard Wolverine fan (as if my tattoo didn't give that away lol) and of course everyone knows how much I love my Raiders...but so does my boy Jessie. All he said was that he was sending me something that I was really gone like. WRONG! I absolutely love it. Wolverine fights Howie Long?! WHAT?! Seriously, how cool is that? By far one of the coolest pieces in my Wolverine collection. Yo brotha, you made my day. One love bro! #Marvel #Wolverine #Raiders #ComicRalph21 #HowieLong #SilverBlackRepublicPrez #SBR
