On Monday in Atlanta, about 75 NAMES Project Foundation supporters, including founder Cleve Jones, attended the dedication ceremony of the new national headquarters for the AIDS Memorial Quilt. The quilt's new home in the city's Inman Park neighborhood includes a massive warehouse in which to store the more than 48,000 panels dedicated to 88,000 people who have died of AIDS. Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) told the crowd how pleased he is to have the tribute housed in his district, an area already rich with civil and human rights history. He also spoke about the recent spike in infection statistics involving African-American women. Atlanta Journal-Constitution 12.03.02; Richard L.
