Activities scheduled for this week include the Quilt display along with several alternative movies and lectures exploring the work of AIDS awareness activists.
All activities are free and open to the public.
FLC hosts AIDS Awareness week to increase public awareness of the AIDS epidemic and HIV prevention. D.C. Ten years later, the quilt has grown to include more than 26,000 individual fabric panels, each measuring 3 feet by 6 feet. The quilt creatively illustrates the enormity of the AIDS epidemic by showing the stories of the people behind the statistics, according to project officials. It memorializes the hundreds and thousands of people who have died of AIDS in the United States and across the globe. See a list of activities in the Weekly Calendar.
