25th Anniversary of the AIDS quilt

The AIDS Memorial Quilt contains more than 47,000 panels with the names of more than 93,000 people. Laid end to end, they would stretch more than 50 miles. Displaying the whole thing is such a huge undertaking that it hasn’t been tried since 1996, but it’s about to be done, in a series of events beginning Wednesday, the 25th anniversary of that first display.
