The unusual life and death of former Kokomo Mayor Henry Cole
Kokomo, Indiana is known for its vibrant history. Unfortunately, Kokomo reminds me of Ryan White's story. A blood transfusion led to him contracting HIV. The HIV virus was not well understood in those days. In the public's eyes, all they knew was that it was a death sentence. He became a pariah. As a result, he was unable to attend school and parents were concerned about their children associating with him. In 1987, his family relocated from Kokomo to Cicero, Indiana. On April 8, 1990, he was eighteen when he passed away.
