The longstanding ignorance is being exploited and exasperated by the mainstream media with their Ebola "coverage."

(2) an interview with Angélique Kidjo on Democracy Now! this morning: http://bit.ly/1tAqEzo (3) the article and related children's books: "I Didn’t Know There Were Cities in Africa!": http://bit.ly/1tAqTdP and (4) the organization Africa Access: http://africaaccessreview.org/
