NAMES Project quilt completes twenty city tour of the

United States

San Francisco, CA, August 10, 1988.The National AIDS Memorial, a huge quilt made of individual 3 foot by 6 foot panels, each bearing the name of a single person lost to AIDS has returned to San Francisco after successfully completing its first 20-city national tour.

A nationwide army of more than 9000 volunteers helped move and disply the Quilt. Host committees set up in each of the cities were responsible for local arrangements. The 7-person NAMES Project Road Crew brouight the Quilt from city to city, traveling the 12,000 miles over 4 months in a 24' bobtail truck and a Winnebago. Local panels were added in each city, doubling the size of the Quilt to more than 6,000 panels by the end of the tour.

In the past year more than 3/4 of a million Americans have viewed the Quilt, most leaving with a new understanding of the impact of AIDS on individuals, and on society. For many, the Quilt was part of their healing process: parents, lovers, and friends of people who had died of AIDS found a way to express their grief, and at the same time, contribute to AIDS organizations in their community.

In every city, the Quilt helped to encourage support and activism. Parents, city officials, and U.S. Congresspeople read names from the Quilt and particpated in special presentation. Donations made at each Quilt display remained in that community, and were distributed to local agencies providing direct AIDS services. Boston raised over $140,000; Chicago raised $26,000 in only one day. In Cleveland proceeds are being used to establish a new "drop-in" center for those with AIDS.

The Quilt remains an ongoing project, the visual symbol of the growth of the AIDS epidemic. New panels continue to be added daily. On October 9th and 10th the Quilt returns to Washington, D.C. for a 2-day display. ▼

HM... WELL, FOR ONE THING, WE'D HAVE LESS OF THESE STYROFOAM CONTAMERS CLUTTERING UP THE ENVIRONMENT!

LOOKIT THIS! YOU CAN'T RECYCLE IT. IT HAS A HALF-LIFE OF A ZILLION YEARS!

DID YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY MAKE ONE OF THESE THINGS, SOME OZONE DESTROYING CHEMICAL IS RELEASED INTO THE ATMOSPHERE?

WITHOUT OZONE TO SCREEN ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION, THE EARTH'S TEMPERATURE IS RISING... THAT'S WHY WE'VE BEEN HAVING RECORD HEAT WAVES AND A DROUGHT.

THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE END, HARRIET! GLOBAL ECOLOGICAL DISASTER IS UPON US!
