ONLY A FAMILY IS SUING THE CITY AFTER THEY SAY LAW ENFORCEMENT HELD HIM IN WHAT THEY CALL A WRONGFUL RAID BACK IN NOVEMBER OF 2021.

IN A NEWS CONFERENCE TODAY, AN ATTORNEY THEY LACK A SAID JULIET POLICE ENTERED HER HOME WITH GUNS AND DETAINED HER AND HER 4 GRANDCHILDREN FOR NEARLY 6 HOURS WHILE EXECUTING A SEARCH WARRANT ATTORNEY SAYS THE WARRANT WAS FOR THE HOME NEXT DOOR.

>> I DON'T TRUST THEM.

THEY CAN JUST COMMENTS ARE HOUSE ANY TIME OF DAY AND JUST POINT LIKE BAGEL GUNS AT IT'S LIKE IT'S NORMAL.

>> WE ARE DEALING WITH ENTERING THE WRONG RESIDENCE.

WE BELIEVE INTENTIONALLY.

AND IF IT WAS NOT INTENTIONAL, IT WAS WILLFUL AND WANTON RECKLESSNESS.

GRATUITOUS LEE POINTING FIREARMS AT INNOCENT CITIZENS AND CHILDREN.

UP NEXT, HELPING ASYLUM SEEKERS IN WINTER WEATHER.

THAT'S RIGHT AFTER THIS.

>> CHICAGO TONIGHT, LATINO VOICE HE'S MADE POSSIBLE IN BY THE SUPPORT OF THESE DONORS.

>> CHICAGO TEMPERATURES ARE DROPPING.

THIS BRINGS A NEW SET OF CHALLENGES FOR MORE THAN 2800 MIGRANTS LIVING UP POLICE STATIONS, MOST OF WHOM HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED CHICAGO WINTER MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS AND LOCAL VOLUNTEERS ARE WORKING DIRECTLY WITH MIGRANTS TO HELP THEM PREPARE FOR THE UPCOMING MONTHS.

JOINING US NOW TO SHARE WHAT THEY'RE SEEING ARE.

SATELLITES GIVE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS, CHICAGO MEDICAL STUDENT AND A MEMBER OF THE MOBILE MIGRANT HEALTH TEAM.

DOCTOR EVELYN A PROFESSOR OF CLINICAL FAMILY AND COMMUNITY MEDICINE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT CHICAGO AND THE DIRECTOR OF THE PILSEN FOOD PANTRY.

AND THEY'LL BE YOU COME UP, PASTOR AT LAKEVIEW LUTHERAN CHURCH.

THANK YOU ALL FOR JOINING NOW.

WE KNOW THAT CHICAGO WEATHER CAN BE VERY BRUTAL.

SARAH TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT ASYLUM SEEKERS ARE TELLING YOU ABOUT COLD WEATHER.

I MEAN, SO.

>> THE WEATHER IS NOT WHETHER THAT PEOPLE HAVE OFTEN, ESPECIALLY PEOPLE COME FROM SOUTH AMERICA EXPERIENCED BEFORE ESPECIALLY CHICAGO WINTER.

SO WHAT WE'RE SEEING NOT ONLY IS THE SHOCK UPON ARRIVING TO CHICAGO, BUT ALSO A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HERE WITH ONLY WHAT THEY WERE ABLE TO MAKE THE MIC GRATION WITH AND A LOT OF TIMES THIS IS MAYBE A T-SHIRT, MAYBE A SWEATER, EVEN SHORTS AND SNEAKERS THAT HAVE SEEN MUCH BETTER DAYS.

SO WHAT WE ARE SEEING IS IMMEDIATE NEED TO COVER, ESPECIALLY WITH WARMER CLOTHING, WINTER WEAR.

BUT THEN ALSO THE WORRIES OF WHERE AM I GOING TO SLEEP TONIGHT?

ESPECIALLY SINCE ONCE DO ARRIVE AT A POLICE STATION WE'RE SEEING IS WOMEN AND CHILDREN ARE TAKING PURDY INSIDE OF THE POLICE STATION TO SLEEP, EVEN SLEEPING UPRIGHT TO MAKE MORE ROOM FOR MORE CHILDREN TO SLEEP.

IN SPITE AND THEN FATHERS AND OTHER SINGLE MALES SLEEPING OUTSIDE SITE.

RIGHT?

AND WE'VE SEEN I YOU CAN PASS ANY POLICE STATION.

YOU CAN JUST SEE THE TENTS LINING UP OUT OF THESE POLICE STATIONS.

DOCTOR WHAT HEALTH CONCERNS?

>> WELL, MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE OUT.

>> TO BEGIN WITH FOLKS THAT ARE FROM TAXES AND THAT THEY'RE SEEING IN TEXAS HAVE TRAVELED TRAVEL-RELATED ILLNESS, INJURIES RELATED TO JUST GETTING THERE.

AND THEN A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE SUFFERING CONSEQUENCES OF LIVING WITH A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE CONGREGATE SETTINGS TO PASSING AROUND A LOT OF THE SAME STOMACH.

FLU A HEAD, COLD CETERA.

SO BESIDES THE SHOP AND GETTING HERE AND NOW HAVING TO GRAPPLE HYPOTHERMIA.

THEY ALSO HAVE COME MALNOURISHED OF MOST PEOPLE THAT HAD CROSSED SAID ABOUT TALK ABOUT IT TAKING SEVERAL DAYS AND THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH FOOD TO GET ACROSS THERE.

SO LOTS OF I'M PUTTING YEARS DOCTOR OTHERS.

THERE'S.

>> MANY YOUNG KIDS AND INFANTS WILL MAKE A LARGE AMOUNT OF THIS MIGRANT POPULATION AND >> ARE YOU SEE ALSO SEE THEM SLEEPING IN TENTS AND WHAT?

WHAT ARE SOME WHAT IS A COOL?

WHAT WHAT WOULD YOU SAY THAT ARE SOME HARMFUL THINGS THAT COULD THAT HAPPEN DURING THIS COLD WEATHER FOR SUCH YOUNG KIDS?

>> A LOT OF FOLKS THAT HAVE CROSSED OVER HAD HEARD STORIES WITH THE STATE WAS HOUSING PEOPLE IN HOTEL ROOMS.

SO THEY CONTINUE TO COME ACROSS AS FULL FAMILIES.

NO ONE REALLY WANTS TO COME ALONE, WHICH IS MUCH SAFER TO COME WITH EVERYONE.

BUT WHEN THEY GET HERE AND THEY REALIZE THAT THE CONDITIONS ARE NOT WHAT THEY EXPECTED AND THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE JEN DURING ITS SEPARATING FAMILIES IN ORDER FIT MORE PEOPLE, THEY WILL AT SOME PEOPLE WILL CHOOSE TO BE INTENSE BESIDES THE FOLKS THAT ARE JUST OVERCROWDING AT POLICE STATIONS.

AND THAT IS NOT SAFE FOR CHILDREN.

IT WASN'T SAFE IN THE HEIGHT OF THE SUMMER.

IT'S NOT SAFE WHEN IT RAINS REALLY BADLY AND KIDS ARE GETTING AND AND CERTAINLY NOW WITH THE CHILDREN DO NOT HAVE THE SAME BODY SERVICE AREA THAT CONTENT AS ADULTS.

THEY ARE GOING TO BECOME HYPOTHERMIC A LOT FASTER.

>> AND LABOR VOLUNTEER GROUPS LIKE YOURS HAVE BEEN ON THE GROUND WITH MIGRANTS AS WELL.

WHAT IS BEING DONE TO PREPARE THEM FOR THESE COLD TEMPERATURES?

WOULD YOU SAY?

>> BESIDES TRYING TO GATHER THE KINDS OF SUPPLIES THAT PEOPLE MIGHT NEED IN ADDITION TO AND WARM CLOTHING, THINK THERE'S JUST BEEN A LOT OF ADVOCACY TO TRY TO ENSURE THAT THEIR WARMING BUSES THEY'RE NOT JUST OF THE COLDEST PART OF 95, PERHAPS SETTING A STANDARD FOR WHEN THE TEMPERATURES GET TO A CERTAIN LEVEL SO THAT THOSE BUSES THERE >> AND AND YOUR CHURCH, I'M SORRY IN YOUR CHURCHES ACTUALLY ACROSS FROM THE 19 POLICE DISTRICT.

ARE ARE YOU SEEING PEOPLE NOW WITHOUT JACKETS?

NOW THE BECAUSE THE WET MESS CHICAGO WEATHER.

YOU KNOW, ALSO THEM OR EITHER INSIDE TENTS WEARING JACKETS.

BUT WE WE ARE ACROSS THE STREET >> ALSO A DONATION DROP-OFF PLACE.

AND SO WE'RE FORTUNATE IN THAT REGARD SO THAT WE CAN GET THOSE SUPPLIES TO PEOPLE RELATIVELY QUICKLY ON THEIR ARRIVAL TO THE PRECISION.

BUT WE KNOW THAT THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY THE CASE FOR A LOT OF PLACES WHERE PROXIMITY AS IT IS, IS A CHALLENGE.

>> AND I WANT TO GO TO YOUR AND YOU'RE ALSO MEDICAL STUDENT WORKING DIRECTLY WITH MIGRANTS AND YOU JUST TOLD ME THAT DOCTOR FEW IT WAS ACTUALLY ONE OF YOUR MENTORS.

YOU'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 6 MONTHS SINCE AMBLING A WHAT WOULD YOU SAY ARE SOME OF THE CHALLENGES RIGHT NOW?

SOME OF THE THINGS THAT YOU'RE MOST CONCERNED ABOUT.

>> THE FIRST CHALLENGE THAT COMES TO MIND RIGHT NOW, IT'S JUST THE ENVIRONMENT.

IT IS COLD OUTSIDE AND CHICAGO, JUST IT'S JUST GOING TO BE A LOT COLDER.

AND WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?

BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A SUSTAINABLE WAY TO BE DEALING WITH PEOPLE SLEEPING OUTSIDE, PROVIDING MORE TENTS AND EVEN IF WE PROVIDE MORE WINTER WHERE IT'S STILL VERY DANGEROUS TO SLEEP OUTSIDE FOR ANY PERSON SO WHAT WE WANT TO SEE IS A LONG-TERM INVESTMENT IN SUSTAINABLE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT CAN LEAD TO A LONG-TERM SOLUTION FOR NOT ONLY OUR CURRENT MIGRANT CRISIS, BUT FOR EVERY HOMELESS PERSON IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO.

AND YOU'RE SAYING THAT SOMETHING THAT WAS FRUSTRATING.

YOU, DOCTOR, OF SUPPLIES ARE BEING CLAIMED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY ADMIT THE SHORT SUPPLY.

>> WHAT SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS NEED?

>> ORGANIZATIONS ARE COMPLETELY OVERWHELMED WITH THE MIGRANT CRISIS.

REMEMBER THAT THERE HAVE BEEN OVER 19,000 PEOPLE THAT HAVE COME IN THE 14 MONTHS.

AND ADDITIONALLY, THERE ARE WELL OVER 3,000 PEOPLE THAT ARE STILL AT POLICE STATIONS.

AND O'HARE, THIS IS VERY, VERY CHALLENGING FOR ALL THE CBO'S AND THE COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS AND FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATIONS HAVE STEPPED UP TO FILL A LOT OF WITH THAT IN MIND.

IT'S IMPORTANT IF YOU WANT TO DONATE AND PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO DONATE TO REMEMBER THAT CASH IS KING THAT MOST OF US ARE TAX EXEMPT SO WE CAN STRETCH YOUR DOLLARS MORE AND BUY IN BULK.

WE AND WE CAN ALSO ALLOCATE APPROPRIATELY.

BUT BESIDES THAT, PEOPLE WANTED RUN RUN A DRIVE COLLECT ITEMS.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO TALK TO THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATION AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE GIVING THEM THINGS THAT WE NEED IN GENERAL IN GYM SHOES, BOOTS, WARM COATS, A WARM, YOU KNOW, SWEATERS, ETC.

NO SUMMER NEW UNDERWEAR AND AND THEN SHELF STABLE SHELF, STABLE, HEALTHY THAT PEOPLE CAN'T GET.

THEY DON'T LIKE THE FOOD THAT GETS DELIVERED BECAUSE IT IS HARD TO COURSE CHILDREN TO EAT THINGS.

THEY DON'T WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE HEALTHY CHOICES THAT BOTH FOR FAMILIES AND PASTOR, >> I KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS.

WE'VE WE TALKED ABOUT THIS QUESTION A LOT, BUT HOW CAN THE CITY BE HELPING MORE?

>> I MEAN, I >> THAT'S AND THAT'S ALWAYS A CHALLENGING QUESTION BECAUSE IT'S SO, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF COMPLEXITIES, BUT I WOULD SAY, YOU BESIDES IDENTIFYING PLACES AND GETTING STABLE HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES PLACE, REALLY WORKING HARD COORDINATING COMMUNICATION BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT'S REALLY HARD TO BE ON TOP OF WHAT YOU NEED TO DO BECAUSE THE INFORMATION IS EITHER LATE IN COMING AS A IS NOT IS NOT CLEAR.

SO WE HAVE SOME WONDERFUL COMMUNITY GROUPS THAT HAVE.

WELL, THERE FOR A LONG TIME.

AND I SET TO DEFEND, THOUGH THEY'VE BEEN DOING THE WORK FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS AND APPRECIATE AND THEN BEARING A LOT MORE THE RESPONSIBILITY.

BUT A LOT OF NEW ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE THAT ARE DEVELOPING AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT ARE JOINING TOGETHER SO HELPING TO KEEP THEM INFORMED OF WHAT'S HAPPENING AND THE HOW I THINK WAS GREAT.

ALSO, THE THING THAT WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO, WHICH IS ALSO TO EDUCATE OUR NEW NEW NEIGHBORS ABOUT HYPOTHERMIA, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THEY MIGHT NEED, YOU KNOW, INFORMATION AROUND LAYERING AND HOW TO DRESS FOR WEATHER LIKE THIS.

BECAUSE AS MENTIONED THAT SEEMS MOTHER, YOU KNOW, RATHER WARM TOMORROW, IT'S CHICAGO CHICAGO.

I CHICAGO WEATHER HAVE A COUPLE SECONDS LEFT.

BUT AT THIS POINT.

>> HOW CAN PEOPLE HELP?

I KNOW I BELIEVE A LITTLE SHE DOCTOR SHE SAID A LITTLE BIT.

BUT AT THIS POINT, HOW CAN PEOPLE HELP CAN PEOPLE GO TO A POLICE STATION AND DONATE RIGHT NOW?

BEST WAY YOU CAN HELP GET CONTACT WITH REFUGEE COMMUNITY CONNECTION ON FACEBOOK TO GET INSTALLED IN INFRASTRUCTURE.

THAT'S VOLUNTEER BASE THAT'S ALREADY ESTABLISHED.

>> AND WE CAN COVER GAPS MORE QUICKLY THAT WAY.

DONATE DOCTOR HAS THE POST IN FOOD PANTRY WHICH HAS BEEN OUR HOME BASE FOR OUR INITIATIVE.

NOW THERE'S COMMUNICATION MEDIA WILL.

THANK YOU ALL FOR JOINING US.

OUR THANKS TO ALL OF YOU.

THANK YOU SO BEAR.

>> UP NEXT, A LOOK AT THE LIFE OF THE LATE CHICAGO 8 ACTIVISTS THAN ME.

SO TO MY OWN.

THE LATE CHICAGO AIDS ACTIVISTS, DENNIS O'DELL MAYO.

DIDN'T JUST OPEN DOORS AT CITY HALL.

HE WAS ALSO A POLITICAL CARTOONIST AND AN ORGANIZER WHO USE CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE TO WAGE WAR ON CITY OFFICIALS MARGINALIZING THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY.

SOTOMAYOR WAS OUTRAGE WHEN THEY WERE TURNING A BLIND EYE TO THE AIDS EPIDEMIC.

MEANWHILE, HE WAS FIGHTING A LOSING BATTLE WITH THE DISEASE HIMSELF.

SO THE STORY IS FEATURED IN THE LATEST EDITION OF THE W T TW SERIES.

CHICAGO STORIES AIRING TOMORROW NIGHT.

HERE'S A PREVIEW.

>> WHEN HE WAS JUST 29 YEARS OLD, DANNY WAS DIAGNOSED WITH AIDS.

YOU FIND HUGE TREE NOW HONESTLY DID NOT HAVE A POLITICAL BONE IN HIS BODY.

>> IT WAS THAT HAD TURNED HIM INTO AN AT THE TIME.

>> A PERSON LIVING WITH AIDS FACED TERRIFYING FUTURE.

WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THESE PATIENTS, BUT JUST TRY TO SUPPORT THEM IN A TIGHT QUICKLY.

FUNERAL HOMES WORTH GROUP USING SERVICE.

DENNIS WERE REFUSING SERVICE.

THERE WAS NO SUPPORT.

THERE WAS NO EMPATHY.

THERE WAS NOTHING.

>> JOINING US NOW WITH MORE ON THIS DOCUMENTARY IN PRESENT-DAY RESEARCH OR DAVID AND OR NOT, PRESIDENT AND CEO HOWARD BROWN HEALTH WTW PRODUCER DAN ENTRIES.

I THANK YOU BOTH FOR JOINING NOW.

I WATCHED THE DOCUMENTARY IT WAS IMPACTFUL.

IT WAS EMOTIONAL.

DAN WOULD INSPIRE.

YOU TELL DENNIS LET THE MINERS LEGACY.

>> I FIRST LEARNED ABOUT THE NE IN 2008 CO PRODUCING A DOCUMENTARY AND WTW CALLED OUT AND PROUD OF CHICAGO AND HIS STORY JUST GALVANIZED ME.

I WAS JUST I WAS TOTALLY MESMERIZED BY THIS GUY.

NEVER MET.

NEVER HEARD OF WHO CLIMBED UP ON THE OVERHANG IS COUNTY BUILDING TO BRING ATTENTION DAYS WHO YELLED MAYOR DALEY AND PUBLIC PRESS CONFERENCES.

I WAS LIKE, WHO IS THIS AMAZING MAN?

AND HE WAS ESSENTIALLY.

HE'S MY AGE RIGHT?

SO HE WAS A CONTEMPORARY.

I NEVER AND I WAS JUST AND I'D TO STORY.

I THOUGHT THIS IS A MOVIE.

SO I'VE BEEN ALWAYS WANTING TO FIND A WAY FOR IT TO BE KIND OF SCREEN.

AND WE FINALLY GOT TO MAKE A DOCUMENTARY HERE 11.

>> AND WITH SOMETHING YOU LEARNED ABOUT HIM THAT YOU DIDN'T KNOW BEFORE STARTED INTERVIEWING HIS FAMILY AND YOU GOT A CHANCE HIS BROTHER.

HE WAS VERY EMOTIONAL DURING THE DOCUMENTARY.

>> YEAH, I WOULD SAY IT WAS DEEPENING OF HUMANITY.

HIS SENSE OF HUMOR, HIS VULNERABILITY, HIS DOUBT.

YOU KNOW, HE'S I SAW THE FEAR SKY AND THE DEBT.

THE MORE I DUG YOU KNOW, MORE TENDER HUMAN BEING AND THE LOVER AND, YOU EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT HIM THAT I THINK IS DOCUMENT.

IT'S CERTAINLY SO MANY DIFFERENT QUALITIES.

YEAH.

AND DAVID.

>> WHAT KIND OF PATTED AT THE MAYO TO PAY FOR THE LGBT COMMUNITY.

>> WHAT ARE YOU?

HE WAS IN A REALLY TRANSFORMATIONAL MOMENT FOR THE LGBT COMMUNITY AND ORGANIZING AND FIGHTING BACK AND BRING VISIBILITY AND POLITICAL INFLECTION POLITICAL POWER.

AND IT'S IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE NOW WITH ALL THE PROGRESS WE'VE MADE IN HIV.

BUT IN THAT MOMENT, LIVING WITH WAS INCREDIBLY SCARY.

MOST PEOPLE HAD BY THE TIME THEY WERE DIAGNOSED ARE PROBABLY ALREADY ADVANCED AIDS AND HAD AND SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, 12 TO 18 MONTHS TO LIVE.

AND AND AND THERE ARE SUCH INCREDIBLE STATEMENT.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, I THINK DANNY, LIKE MANY PEOPLE MADE THE DECISION THAT THEY'RE INTO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO FIGHT FOR THEMSELVES FOR THEIR COMMUNITY AND AND REALLY FIGHT FOR THE LGBT COMMUNITY BECAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH STIGMA AGAINST A DISEASE THAT WAS ASKED HOMOPHOBIA ANY RELIEF FUND FOR EDUCATION, CORRECT PEOPLE.

ABSOLUTELY.

AND I THINK HE HE ALSO DEMONSTRATE THAT HE CARES ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE.

I MEAN, A LOT OF HIS POLITICAL CARTOONS WERE ABOUT THE REAGAN ADMINISTRATION ABOUT CITY HALL AND ABOUT IN EQUITIES THAT HE SAW THERE WERE NOT GETTING ENOUGH LIGHT.

HE'S ALSO TRYING TO RADICALIZE AND AND GET THE LGBT COMMUNITY MOBILIZED POLITICALLY AND MANAGED TO DO THAT AND TALKING ABOUT TREATMENT.

THERE'S STILL NO CURE FOR HIV.

CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT THE BEST INVESTMENTS IN SINCE THE 1980'S?

0, MY GOD.

WE'VE MADE SUCH INCREDIBLE PROGRESS.

>> THANKS TO YOU KNOW, THE NIH AND SCIENTISTS.

SO NOW THERE'S REALLY EFFECTIVE ANTIRETROVIRAL TREATMENTS FOR PERSON HAS ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE AND SOMEBODY WHO RECEIVES A HERE'S TO THE TREATMENT BECAUSE OF THE NORMAL LIFE SPAN.

SO IT'S REALLY CHANGED THE GAME.

BUT I THINK THE CHALLENGES ARE THE ONES I MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE.

AND, YOU KNOW, THE ABILITY TO MAINTAIN IT.

HEAR TO THE TREATMENTS LOSE A LOT OF PEOPLE BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, ISSUES THAT WE'RE FACING SOCIETY LIKE POVERTY AND DEPRESSION AND SUBSTANCE USE AND SHAME.

I MEAN, WE STILL SEE A LOT OF ANTI HIV STIGMA.

YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO LIVE.

>> DAN, I WANT TO GO TO YOU KNOW, YOU MENTIONED THAT A LITTLE BIT, BUT THE DOCUMENTARY EXPLAINS HOW HE WAS NOT ONLY OPENLY 8 ACTIVISTS, BUT HE WAS ALSO A POLITICAL CARTOONIST.

TELL ME ABOUT THE IMPACT HIS CARTOONS HAD.

>> DANNY'S CARTOONS ARE AMAZING.

THEY'RE ONE MOSTLY ONE PANEL.

THEY ARE, YOU KNOW, GRAPHICALLY COMPELLING.

THEY MAKE A QUICK STATEMENT.

THEY'RE FULL OF WIT.

THEY'RE BITING.

THEY'RE SMART.

THEY GO AFTER THAT TARGET REAL.

AND SOMETIMES THEY OFFER SYMPATHY BEAUTIFULLY.

THERE'S A NUMBER OF ONES THAT ACTS OF MOURNING FOR PEOPLE.

BUT, YOU KNOW, THE THING ABOUT 10 E DANNY DIDN'T FOR A PUBLICATION.

HE CROSSED THE LINE.

HE GOT FIRED ANOTHER PUBLICATION.

HE CROSSED THE LINE, GOT FIRED.

HE WENT TO ANOTHER PUBLICATION.

THE LAST PLACE HE WENT WAS TO TRACY BEY THE WINDY CITY TIMES AND SAID, I'M EVER GOING TO FIND YOU.

SO DO WHATEVER THE HECK YOU WANT.

YOU KNOW WHAT WILL GIVE YOU A HOME HERE?

SO HE WAS, YOU KNOW, HE DIDN'T.

DIDN'T USE THE BOUNDARIES OF HIS BOSSES TO DETERMINE WHAT HE WAS GOING TO SAY.

LOOK, HE WAS A FIGHTER.

OH, MY GOD.

YEAH, THEY'RE GREAT.

THEY'RE GREAT.

AND IT'S IT'S HE WAS THE FIRST OPENLY POLITICAL CARTOONISTS AND HIS WORK WAS NATIONAL.

IT WAS IN NEW YORK.

IT WAS FRANCISCO AND I THINK HE DESERVES GREATER RECOGNITION FOR IT.

I THINK HE DESERVES, YOU KNOW, ATTENTION IS THE BIG BOYS.

YEAH.

AND THEN I HOW WOULD YOU HOPE THAT PEOPLE WOULD YOU HOPE THAT PEOPLE WILL TAKE AWAY?

>> FROM DANNY SOTTILE, MY OLD WHEN YOU WANT PEOPLE TO LEARN FROM HIM, INSPIRATION.

I'D LIKE TO THINK THAT, YOU KNOW.

DANNY COULD INSPIRE A 4TH GRADER.

YOU KNOW, TO UNDERSTAND THEIR ROLE AND THEIR POWER, THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL POWER SOCIETY, BE ABLE TO STEP UP AND DO SOMETHING.

>> YOU KNOW, DANNY WAS SPECIALLY WASN'T SPECIAL AS YOU'RE GETTING THE MOTION I'M GETTING EMOTIONAL, EMOTION, BECAUSE I I JUST FIND THE GUY TO BE INCREDIBLY INSPIRATIONAL.

AND I DO BELIEVE IT'S A BIGGER THING THAN JUST WELL AS HIS INSPIRATION FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE CLEAR SITUATION FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE SICK KNOW.

SPECIAL.

IS SPENT INSPIRATIONAL PUBLIC PERSON TO PERSON YET.

WHO CAN TELL YOU HOW TO BE A MEMBER OF THE SOCIETY, A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY.

>> ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE LAST A ABOUT DENNIS AT THE MAYO OR WHAT SOMETHING THAT YOU TAKE AWAY FROM HIS SPIRIT?

WERE I'M ALSO I THINK IN SO THAT, YOU KNOW, HE WAS EXTRAORDINARY AND OR DAYS REALLY TOUCHES ME BECAUSE HE HE WANTED TO JUST LIVE.

YOU KNOW, HE JUST WANTED TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO GET OLDER TO HAVE A FULL LIFE.

AND HE WAS AN EXAMPLE.

I MEAN, IN THAT AGE, SOMEONE OPENLY LIVING WITH HIV WAS SO RARE.

IT IS TODAY OVERSEE FIRST TIME HIV FOR FOR US.

WE'RE WITH HIV IS SOMEONE WE WANT TO REMEMBER.
