Aids Memorial Quilt

The Aids Memorial Quilt is a long-term project to make a vast commemorative quilt for Americans who died of HIV/aids. The Project was launched in 1987 by gay rights activists in San Francisco, California, when the disease’s stigma resulted in some American funeral parlours refusing to accept the bodies of aids victims.
