Unfolding the AIDS Memorial Quilt - June 12, 2022
MARKING 35 YEARS OF LOVE, ACTIVISM AND LEGACY
On June 11-12, 2022 the National AIDS Memorial displayed 3,000 Quilt panels in Golden Gate Park, marking 35 years since the first panels were made. Our cast was honored to be asked to take part in the unfolding of these panels for display.
They did so proudly wearing their leathers. Watch as Race Bannon and Graylin Thornton tell us what this moment meant to them. To learn more about the history of the AIDS Memorial Quilt watch our full interview with Cleve Jones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GptHt...
This historic event honored the lives lost to AIDS whose names are stitched in the fabric of the Quilt.
Cleve Jones is an LGBT+ activist who initiated the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt, an endeavor that brought attention to the AIDS epidemic in the 80s through 90s. This history is not taught in our schools so we are very honored to talk about it with the man who was a true pioneer in bringing us all together. We remember the Aids Memorial Quilt and the impact it still has on our community as we weather the AIDS crises.
Huge thank you to our sponsors:
