Display Host: Cleve Jones co founder AIDS Memorial Quilt - The AIDS Memorial Quilt was conceived by long-time San Francisco gay rights activist Cleve Jones. Since the 1978 assassinations of gay San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk and Mayor George Moscone, Jones had helped organize an annual candlelight march honoring these men. While planning the 1985 march, he learned that more than 1,000 San Franciscans had been lost to AIDS. He asked each of his fellow marchers to write on placards the names of friends and loved ones who had died of AIDS-related complications. At the end of the march, Jones and others stood on ladders taping these placards to the walls of the San Francisco Federal Building. The wall of names looked like a patchwork quilt. Inspired by this sight, Jones and friends made plans for a larger memorial. A little over a year later, he created the first panel for the AIDS Memorial Quilt in memory of his friend Marvin Feldman, which is featured in this virtual display. Today, the Quilt is a visual reminder of the AIDS pandemic and continues as the largest ongoing community art project in the world.  Additional panels for this virtual display include friends and loved ones from the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus and the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
