Abstract

In two chapters from his memoir Stitching a Revolution, Cleve Jones details the vision for the AIDS Quilt in the extraordinary epidemic context from which it emerged. Jones takes us through the complicated, sometimes frustrating but also heartening process of creation, coordination, and negotiation as that vision became realized. Here we experience the mourning ritual and spectacle of that first display in Washington, D.C., in 1987, as well some of the meaningful responses the AIDS Quilt elicited.
