The AIDS Memorial Quilt, which began at a storefront in San Francisco at a time when victims did not receive funerals due to social stigma, is heading to the White House for the first time in history." A White House spokesperson emphasized the significance of the quilt's display, noting that it reflects the historical struggle against HIV/AIDS and the importance of commemorating the lives lost.
On World AIDS Day, the President and First Lady will honor the memory of those we have lost to HIV/AIDS and celebrate the remarkable strength of those who continue to live and thrive with HIV." This statement underscores the focus on both remembrance and resilience amid the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
