AIDS Quilt display was world's largest
The largest display of The AIDS Memorial Quilt was on view at Emory on World AIDS Day Dec. 1.
The sixth annual Quilt on the Quad was planned in a new location this year on McDonough Field, but inclement weather moved it inside to the Dobbs University Center.
Hosted by Emory Hillel, the day included a reading by members of the Emory community of names memorialized on each quilt panel.
More than 1,200 panels told the story of lives lost to HIV/AIDS.
The NAMES Project Foundation Inc. is the international curator of The AIDS Memorial Quilt, designed to inspire action, heighten awareness and foster healing in the age of AIDS.
