The AIDS Memorial Quilt is a memorial to celebrate the lives of people who have died of AIDS. Cleve Jones, a gay rights activist from San Francisco, came up with the idea in 1985 to honor loved ones and create more awareness of the impact of AIDS. Created in the height of the AIDS epidemic, the Quilt helped to educate people about the disease as well as memorialize the people who lost their lives to AIDS. The Quilt’s nearly 50,000 panels include at least one from every U.S. state in addition to panels from a few dozen countries.

A section of the AIDS Memorial Quilt and a small exhibit on the history of the Quilt will be on display on the sixth floor of Central Library from November 28 – December 2 from 9-4:30 PM each day.

Join us for refreshments, activities, and reflections about the AIDS Memorial Quilt on Tuesday, Nov. 28, 12 -2 p.m.

For questions, reach out to Kathryn Slover at kathryn.slover@uta.edu.
