• Haitian community protests FDA blood donation ban in New York City On April 20, 1990, over 50,000 Haitian and Haitian-American protesters marched across the Brooklyn Bridge to Federal Plaza in Manhattan, opposing a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) policy that prohibited individuals from Haiti and sub-Saharan Africa from donating blood. The FDA implemented this ban as a precaution against AIDS transmission, citing higher rates of heterosexual transmission in these regions. Protesters argued that the policy was discriminatory and stigmatized their community. The demonstration led to significant traffic disruptions and garnered widespread media attention. In response to the protests and ongoing concerns, the FDA's Blood Products Advisory Committee met to reassess the ruling and explore ways to safeguard the blood supply while allowing these communities to donate. The policy was eventually lifted in December 1990. source: washingtonpost.com
