Abstract
In January, 1989, a group of activists held a week long vigil at the USC County Hospital (Los Angeles, CA, USA) to expose inadequate care for AIDS victims and to call for a new dedicated unit. It was here that ACT UP/LA member Connie Norman did her first radio interview. “She was a natural”, says fellow activist and friend Peter Cashman. “And of course the rest is history.” Within a few years, Norman had become a leader in the movement, and a spokesperson on the intersectional oppressions experienced by the LGBTQ community. But in the intervening 25 years, this is a history that has largely been forgotten. A new film AIDS Diva: The Legend of Connie Norman by Dante Alencastre aims to revive it by introducing a new generation to this once iconic figure of the LGBTQ movement.
