Barbara Bush Visited Our Facility for Children with HIV/AIDS. It Was Unforgettable.

People often ask whether the famous picture of Barbara Bush cuddling one of the babies at our care home for children with HIV/AIDS was staged by White House photographers or handlers. It was not. It was a caring grandmother’s genuine instinct to comfort and soothe a sick baby.

"Barbara Bush Visited Our Facility for Children with HIV/AIDS. It Was Unforgettable." is from the April 21, 2018 Opinion section of The Washington Post. It was written by Debbie Tate and Joan McCarley and narrated by Sam Scholl.
