It's World AIDS Day, and after 38 years of waiting, today we were finally invited inside The White House grounds for an AIDS Quilt display. There have been thirty-eight years of displays on the Mall or the Ellipse, but never inside.
The hundreds of thousands of people memorialized on the Quilt, the largest community art project in the world, have been heard by power, seen by power, and can rest in peace.
Today, after laying out 1000 panels on the southern lawn, having a few moments in the Oval Office with my husband Steven Clay by my side, to teach and thank the president, I am renewed, recharged, and ready for future battles.
It was the most wonderful day of my life, but one that ignites my passion to do more.
