The AIDS Memorial Quilt Hosted at the March on Washington On July 22, a part of the revered AIDS Memorial Quilt will grace the grounds of the Washington Monument during the “Keep the Promise” March on Washington. Curated by The NAMES Project Foundation, Inc. throughout its 25 year history, the Quilt has been used to fight prejudice, raise awareness and funding, and as a means to link hands with the global community in the fight against AIDS.  "The Quilt  is a physical representation of the loved ones we have lost and it's a symbol of the heartbreak that many families endured due to HIV/AIDS.  It reminds us all that there is still so much work to be done and so many more lives yet to save.  We are honored that the Quilt will be on display at the March on Washington because undeniably, people will be moved to action and inspired to continue in the fight – and one day, there will be no more heartache because of HIV/AIDS," said Omonigho Ufomata, Director of Global Advocacy & Policy at AIDS Healthcare Foundation. The Quilt is a tapestry of more than 48,000 panels created by over 94,000 people from around the world in memory of those who have died of AIDS-related causes. This year will mark the historic return of the Quilt to Washington, DC after it was last displayed in full on the National Mall in 1996. The Quilt and the “Keep the Promise” March on Washington aim to raise awareness that the war on AIDS has not been won. The Quilt display will begin early on the Washington Monument Grounds prior to the "Keep the Promise" March on Washington rally at 2 PM.  Visit the Quilt and attend the march to remember and celebrate the lives of the people instilled on the Quilt and call on the world to “Keep the Promise” on AIDS until there is no need to add any new names to this sacred memorial.  Related Items KeepthePromise2012.org
