Scope and Content
In 1990 the Red, Hot & Blue project made an album for AIDS Activist, Research and Relief projects worldwide. This collection documents efforts to equally divide monies raised (ACT UP groups were to receive one-third), including letters of support, flyers, and newspaper articles documenting each ACT UP group’s body of work–documents meant to help groups “claim” their share of the monies.
History or Bio
ACT UP (AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power) is committed to direct action to end the AIDS crisis. The original chapter was founded in New York City in 1987.
