AIDS Memorial Quilt
Définition(s)
- The concept of the AIDS memorial quilt was created by gay rights activist Cleve Jones in November 1985. While helping plan the annual candlelight march to honor assassinated gay San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk and Mayor George Mascone, Jones decided to recognize San Francisco residents lost to AIDS. He asked each marcher to write on placards names of friends and loved ones who had died of AIDS. After the march, the placards were taped to the walls of the San Francisco federal building.
