Bob Geldof Launches Live 8
Concerts
On July 13th 1985 two unique simultaneous concerts
called Live Aid were held in London and Philadelphia with a goal of easing
the suffering of millions of victims of famine in Africa. Live Aid raised
over $100 million but 20 years later poverty, disease, and famine are
still major problems for the people of Africa. 20 years ago the public
contributed resources to end suffering and now Bob Geldof is putting
together new concerts to pressure wealthy governments to come to the aid
of impoverished people.
