🌎 What is the World AIDS Day National Observance?

Each year on December 1st, our community gathers to remember those lost, educate others, and rally to eliminate the devastating stigma and loss associated with the ongoing AIDS crisis.

By spotlighting unsung heroes, engaging in powerful conversations, and celebrating progress made, this free, community event aims to make strides toward ensuring that future communities will not be harmed by HIV/AIDS, as well as fear, silence, discrimination, or stigma.

Eugene "Gene" Ewins's panel was one of the first displayed on the Mall in Washington, D.C. in 1987.

Gene's panel was crafted by his dear friend, Terry Blankenship, and highlighted Gene's activism with the ARC/AIDS vigil while ensuring he will be remembered. Moved at the sight of their son's panel, Gene's parents crafted a second panel for their son. Gene's sister, Earlene, and brother-in-law visited their brother's panel during the first display in Washington, and made a third panel for Gene. Pictured are Terry and Earlene, images they took at the display, and the three panels made to ensure that Gene will never be forgotten.

"To us, it is our way to make a Memorial to Our Son and to tell others of the Love and Pride we feel for Gene," Charlene and Earle Ewins.

🗣️ As we recognize anniversary of the first display of the Quilt on the National Mall, we remember Eugene and those who are memorialized through the Quilt. Say Gene Ewins's name!
