Boy with the Bullhorn

"Boy with the Bullhorn" is a poignant and moving coming-of-age memoir by Ron Goldberg that sheds light on life during the AIDS crisis in New York City. The author, who joined the activist group ACT UP in 1987, shares his experiences and the challenges he and his fellow activists faced during this turbulent time. The book not only provides a personal insight into Goldberg's development as an activist but also offers a comprehensive history of the ACT UP movement, which tirelessly fought for the rights of people with HIV/AIDS. With a blend of humor, heart, and deep understanding, Goldberg recounts protests, memorials, and the community that emerged amidst loss and grief. "Boy with the Bullhorn" is both a tribute to the struggles of the past and a call to remember and take action in the present.
