Story Highlights: All summer long, CNN Student News is publishing special Webcasts On today’s show, we highlight CNN Presents: Black in America Visit schools in two American cities that are targeting the dropout rate (CNN Student News) — July 28, 2008 CARL AZUZ, CNN STUDENT NEWS ANCHOR: Hi, everyone. I’m Carl Azuz and this is CNN Student News. Thanks for taking a vacation from your vacation to check out our latest summer Webcast. Today, we’re focusing on a sensitive and sometimes controversial topic. But it’s also part of our country’s history, from slavery to the civil rights movement. Forty years after Dr. Martin Luther King’s death, CNN has launched “Black in America.” It’s a huge project that examines stereotypes and statistics and asks what it means to be black in America today. These special reports investigate health issues, like the devastating toll of HIV and AIDS on the African-American community. They also explore the progress of black men and women in the professional world and the black middle class. One of the biggest topics that “Black in America” addresses is education and the disparities between black and white students. Soledad O’Brien visited a school in New York that’s working to close that gap.

Canadian scientists are beaming as the country’s first attempt at an HIV vaccine moves out of the lab and into early clinical trials. But it will be years before they know if the vaccine will be effective. Scientists at the University of Western Ontario have brought their HIV vaccine to the point where the the US Food and Drug Administration said it can go forward with clinical trials. The drug, which is in the earliest phases of clinical trials, is being tested on 40 HIV positive volunteers to make sure it is safe for use in humans, said researcher Dr. Chil-Yong Kang. It’s already been tested extensively in animals. “To have this approval from US FDA to test this vaccine in humans, this is a very important stage,” the doctor said. If it passes this stage, the vaccine will go into more advanced trials that will seek to determine if it’s effective. The idea is, like most vaccines, to prevent people from contracting the disease, rather than treating them after the fact. An advanced clinical trial will require thousands of people to receive the vaccine, but remains a long ways off. “Phase three is something we do not know, and God only knows, so we’ll see if this is efficacious,” Kang said. That is a big question. More than a dozen vaccines have gotten to early clinical trials after showing tremendous promise in animals, only to be ineffective in humans, said Dr. Myron Cohen, a North Carolina researcher uninvolved with the clinical trial. “At the end of the day, we’re trying … Video Rating: 3 / 5
