I’m Still Surviving”: Oral Histories of Women Living with HIV/Aids in Chicago
This article recounts the creation of an oral and public history project, “I’m Still Surviving,” which seeks to document, write, and display a women’s history of HIV/AIDS in the United States. Using feminist oral history and decolonial methods for both the collection and interpretation of oral history narratives, the project grounds and amplifies self-determination by women living with HIV/AIDS as it decenters the notions that academic historians…

Anthony M. Petro. After the Wrath of God: Aids, Sexuality, and American Religion
Reading After the Wrath of God: AIDS, Sexuality, and American Religion reminded me of a talk I gave in 2003 about the history of AIDS, the history of the 1980s, and the political struggles and movement building of AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP).

More specifically, Inrig explains how and why HIV/AIDS in the U.S. South was…

This essay explores how one mainstream museum struggled with these questions while mounting an exhibition on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) history in Chicago. Debates appeared over displaying sexually explicit materials in the gallery, and whether the exhibit would encoura…
Save Our Kids, Keep Aids Out: Anti-Aids Activism and the Legacy of Community Control in Queens, New York
This article details a 1985 protest organized by black and white parents in two Queens, New York School districts to fight the New York City's Board of Education policy allowing children with AIDS to attend public schools. I examine the Queens anti-AIDS protests to assess the effectiveness of this cross-racial alliance as well as how it functioned in relationship to the rise of political conservatism in the 1980s. I argue that it is necessary to …
