The AIDS Quilt is coming to Stony Brook in commemoration of World AIDS Day. We will have the quilt for one day only: Thursday, November 29th, from 10 am to 10 pm in SAC A. In the morning, there will be a ceremony during which the Quilt will be unfolded, President Kenny will speak, and names will be read. The reading of names will continue throughout the day. Counselors will be available to speak to visitors.
About The Quilt
Founded in 1987, The AIDS Memorial Quilt is a poignant memorial, a powerful tool for use in preventing new HIV infections, and the largest ongoing community arts project in the world.
Each "block" (or section) of The AIDS Memorial Quilt measures approximately twelve feet square, and a typical block consists of eight individual three foot by six foot panels sewn together. Virtually every one of the more than 40,000 colorful panels that make up the Quilt memorializes the life of a person lost to AIDS.
As the epidemic continues claiming lives around the world and here in the United States, the Quilt continues to grow and to reach more communities with its messages of remembrance, awareness and hope.
