Don Quixote in Newark

When Dr. James Oleske insisted babies in Newark were getting the new and unknown disease then appearing in gay men and drug users in the ‘80s, every established authority told him that he was crazy. Forming a powerful alliance with the poor mothers and grandmothers of Newark, Oleske never stopped fighting. His brilliant work ultimately ended the pediatric AIDS epidemic in America.
