A Different World Addresses the Aids Epidemic
Josie Webb, played by Tisha Campbell-Martin, became the face of the AIDS epidemic for many through a memorable episode of A Different World. On this episode, where students were instructed to deliver their own eulogies, Webb shares that unprotected sex and being diagnosed with AIDS would be the cause of her early demise. This memorable episode touched on sexual consent, protective measures and the truth about who and how we can pass on the virus. Not only did Black sitcoms make us laugh, but they also taught us important issues we needed to learn to maneuver throughout life.
