Display Hosts: The Hawai`i Names Project
Display Host: The Hawai`i Names Project - Jackie Beckman knew what to do when asked to design a square for a quilt panel in memory of a former teacher who died of AIDS, Mike ("Mack") Shuttlefield. He was an English, newswriting and yearbook teacher loved by faculty and students at Waianae High School, who loved cows and displayed them all over his classroom. He died in 1993. Mike's panel is located on Block 5191 and is part of our virtual Quilt display. Bringing people with HIV on campus to speak to students during our Quilt display helped break down stereotypes of AIDS as a gay disease and helped combat homophobia, "We hope people realize that art is life -- and art, health and learning about AIDS is all connected," she said. We offer this display in honor of NAMES Project Hawaii’s founders, Rita Andrade & Carmen Salazar.
