When Magic Made History

In November 1991, Magic Johnson shocked the world when he announced his HIV status in a press conference that became one of those "where were you?" moments in television history.

Where was I? Glued to the TV like most people that day. Only unlike most people, I, too, had "HIV virus living inside my body," as the legendary Laker put it.

Go back in time and see how it felt during the height of the AIDS Panic to be Just Like Magic.
