“I would like to take a moment from this very public ceremony to speak of something very personal. It concern a dear friend of mine, who is not longer with us. His name is Ryan White. He was haemophiliac who is diagnosed with the AIDS virus when he was 11. He died shortly after turning 18, the very time most young people are beginning to explore life’s wonderful possibilities.

My friend Ryan was a very britght, very brave and very normal young man who never wanted to be a symbol or spokesperson for a deadly disease. Over the years, I’ve shared many silly, happy and painful moments with Ryan. I was with him at the end of his brave, but eventful journey. Ryan is gone, and just as anyone who has lost a loved to AIDS, I miss him deeply and constantly. He’s gone, but I want his life have mean beyond his passing.

It’s my hope, president elected Clinton, that you and your administration commit the resources needed to elemining this awful disease that took my friend, and ended so many promissing lifes before time.”

Michael Jackson in his speech during the “Bill Clinton’s Gala”. February 19th, 1993.
