As Ebola cases surge in Sierra Leone and the confirmed overall toll tops 5,000, we discuss West Africa's growing epidemic and the world's lackluster response with the Grammywinning singer and songwriter Angélique Kidjo. A native of Benin, Kidjo is a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, cofounder of the Batonga Foundation for Girls Education, and author of the memoir "Spirit RisingMy Life, My Music." Her latest album, “EVE,” is dedicated to the Women of Africa. Last week, Kidjo wrote a piece in The New York Times headlined "Don’t Let Ebola Dehumanize Africa."
