LETTERS READ INCUBATOR XIV: ACT UP New Orleans

LETTERS READ

In conjunction with LGBT+ Archives Project of Louisiana, Letters Read brings you this first of four, mini podcasts on the early days of HIV|AIDS. This segment is based on original source material from the 1990s ACT UP organization, here. These ACT UP New Orleans records, from the second, local itiration, were collected, and stored, by Mark Gonzalez. A loyal and very active member. I thank him for allowing me access to these files and for answering my many many questions about the organization and the arc of the group’s history. Photo: Early New York City ACT UP demonstration. A nod to the failed relationship between New Orleans ACT UP and the Big City folk.
