Africans In New York Complain Of Ebola Stigma

There're complaints by African communities in New York, USA that their children are been stigmatized as a result of the Ebola Virus outbreak that started in West African.

The stigmatization was even made worse as US states and the Pentagon have imposed quarantine rules for people returning from Ebola-afflicted countries, Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.

This situation has necessitated a community group in New York "The African Advisory Council" (AAC), which called a news conference in the Bronx, home to one of the largest African communities in the United States, to demand better education to end the fear.

*The public (New York) should be well educated on Ebola Virus outbreak so that this stigmatization against Africans in New York can be discontinued.
