It's been likened to a plague, but A.I.D.S. was never just a health crisis. The second in a series on grieving the death of a friend, Friend Grief and AIDS: Thirty Years of Burying Our Friends revisits a time when people with A.I.D.S. were also targets of bigotry and discrimination. In stories about Ryan White, ACT UP, the Names Project, red ribbons and more, you'll learn why friends made all the difference: not just caregiving or memorializing, but changing the way society confronts the medical establishment and government to demand action.
