content: Cotton t-shirt with inscription that reads “THE NAMES PROJECT / AIDS MEMORIAL QUILT.” In the mid-1980s, in order to call attention to magnitude of the AIDS crisis, activists created the AIDS Memorial Quilt project. The quilt was displayed on the National Mall, in Washington, D.C., in October 1987. An enlarged quilt, with panels from every state and 28 countries, was displayed again on the Mall in October 1992. This T-shirt, which was probably collected at that time, was designed by Mary Engelbreit (b. 1952), an artist in Webster Groves, Mo., and produced by Stanford Blaine.
