Display Hosts: Northeast Community College
Display Host: Northeast Community College - As the coronavirus pandemic continues to rage through our world, World AIDS Day is an opportunity to remember those we have lost to another pandemic. Forty years into the AIDS pandemic, more than 700,000 lives in the U.S. have been lost to AIDS and more than 1.1 million people live with HIV. Northeast Community College has chosen to participate in this virtual display of the AIDS Memorial Quilt as an opportunity to reflect. The art and the tradition of quilting in the United States has always been a way to bring a community together – through a quilting bee, a panel making workshop, or using a quilt to warm up after a cold day on the farm. It is a symbol of comfort, of community, and of resilience.
