I heard someone say today that the AIDS crisis is over in America. First of all, it isn't, but, secondly, I think we should remember the public health crisis of the early nineties and how a group of very determined folks, mostly gay men, came together to stop a generation from dying.

A beautiful chronicle of the associational genesis of the gay community in the beginnings of the AIDS crisis.
