The Guardy and the Shame

By Kwame Dawes, Photography by Andre Lambertson

January 6, 2015 | Reporting

City of Dust, City of Stones

By Kwame Dawes, Photography by Andre Lambertson

Spring 2011 | Essays

Photographer Andre Lambertson and I visited Haiti together four times during 2010. We spent a week there on each occasion. We were there to learn and tell the story of HIV/AIDS in Haiti after the earthquake. Three hundred thousand Haitians died during that quake. Three hundred thousand. There are still bodies in the rubble. They may never be recovered. But millions now live with the memory of their loss. Among that number are the special people who we came to know—the people who are living with HIV/AIDS.
