Unresponsive governments, inaccessible healthcare, hostile stigmas towards drug users, queer people, and Black and Indigenous communities resulted in an AIDS epidemic that killed 500,000 people in the United States alone by 2002. As a direct result of these violent moments of inaction from those in power, AIDS activists, caretakers, and community workers played vital roles in providing care for those living with HIV/AIDS. HIV/AIDS is an ongoing health crisis today and disproportionately affects Black and Indigenous communities. The displayed material references early AIDS activism including audio-visual educational material, a touring quilt memorial, and a local AIDS Vigil.
