Ruth Coker Burks: Hero

"How can I help?" With those four words, a young, single mother from Arkansas became a warrior at the onset of the HIV/AIDS crisis in the 1980's.  Ruth Coker Burks tells us her incredible story, rife with sass, grit and undeniable love for all the people she cared for, when the rest of the world was rejecting them. Threatened by the Ku Klux Klan, shunned by her town, Ruth never wavered.   We are celebrating PRIDE by honoring her, the Cemetery Angel of Arkansas.
