AIDS-Memorial quilt on display at UGA-Gwinnett

According to the NAMES Foundation, in a war against a disease that has no cure, the AIDS Memorial Quilt has evolved as a potent tool in the effort to educate against the lethal threat of AIDS. By revealing the humanity behind the statistics, the quilt helps teach compassion, triumphs over taboo, stigma and phobia while inspiring individuals to take direct responsibility for their own well-being and that of their family, friends and community.
