The AIDS Memorial Quilt represents 35 years of love, activism and legacy.
SAN FRANCISCO -- The National AIDS Memorial marked the 35th anniversary of the AIDS Memorial Quilt with a historic outdoor display in Golden Gate Park.
Today, the Quilt, considered the largest community arts project in the world, has more than 50,000 individually sewn panels with more than 110,000 names. "Remember the names and that's what the Quilt is here for," COO at the National AIDS Memorial Kevin Herglotz said."It's to always remember those names and use the Quilt as a teaching tool so we can learn the lessons of the past so we don't repeat them in the future."
"At the beginning of the pandemic, of course, the stigma was overwhelming. People were dying alone and forgotten," Co-Founder Cleve Jones said."It hit my neighborhood early and hard. Within a few years, almost everyone I knew was dead or dying or caring for someone who was dying, and I wanted to warn the world and also to try to find a way for people to grieve together."
