		At emotional farewell ceremonies here, Jones said he was gratified that the quilt would be based in Atlanta, where it can be used to educate African-American communities and others that are being particularly hard hit with new HIV infections.
		Emphasizing that the war against AIDS is a political one as much a health crisis, Jones denounced governments for allowing the disease to infect 40 million people world-wide as AIDS enters its third decade.
		Three years later, Jones was fired by the quilt organization after clashing with its board on issues of diversity and how best to use the quilt in the continued fight against AIDS in the 21st Century.

		Throughout 2003, the Names Project and its board of directors explored the possibility of laying out the entire AIDS Memorial Quilt — all 50 tons and 1,270,350 square feet (the equivalent of 47 football fields) of it — on the mall.

		I realized then the power of the Quilt, not only as a memorial but as a call to action, a weapon against AIDS and the parallel epidemic of hysteria, bigotry and hate which it had unleashed.
		As an organizer, I saw the Quilt primarily as a useful vehicle, tangible evidence of the suffering behind the statistics.
		The offices of the NAMES Project have relocated to Atlanta but the Quilt will always be remembered as gift from the people of San Francisco.

		There can be few American stories more inspiring than that of the tremendous 43,000-panel AIDS quilt, a national memorial as powerfully symbolic as the Vietnam War Memorial--but made from a material as fragile and ephemeral as human life.
		The quilt is predicated on a simple concept: putting names to those who have died of AIDS humanizes the statistics and forces those who visit the quilt to look beyond the stigmatized categories of gayness and contagious disease that cling to the popular image of AIDS.
		The AIDS Memorial Quilt (Cleve Jones, founder) is a poignant memorial, a powerful tool for prevention education and the largest ongoing community arts project in the world.
