Charles Koehler interviews John Hilgeman about the AIDS Memorial Quilt, which was started by Cleve Jones in San Francisco and has grown to nearly 12,000 panels, covering about 14 acres. The Quilt was displayed in Washington, DC, with names read aloud and a candlelight march. George Bush declined to meet Cleve Jones. He was to fly over the Quilt. As a light rain covered the Quilt, it was quickly folded. The Quilt has been displayed in various cities, including St. Louis, where it has been a focal point for education and community outreach. Future plans include local displays and educational efforts. Interested individuals can contact John Hilgeman for information on making panels.
