AIDS/HIV in the American South: Rhetoric and Policy

AIDS/HIV in the American South: Rhetoric and Policy

AIDS/HIV

This exhibit highlights the rhetoric and policy of HIV/AIDs in the American South to demonstrate how marginalized populations strived to support public health in a time of crisis. The primary materials we have selected highlight the rhetoric and policy creation of a negative socio-cultural landscape that HIV-positive individuals faced in the United States during the 1980s and 1990’s. With powerful statistic and personal accounts, these collections highlight how marginalized communities were able to band together in the fight against AIDS as well as demonstrate the importance of community in times of crisis.
