LETTERS READ INCUBATOR XIII: Introduction to HIV|AIDS in the Early Days

LETTERS READ

Allow us to introduce the 2024 mini-series of letters and documents from the early days of HIV|AIDS. A late 20th century crisis. Most of the material is New Orleans in particular, Louisiana, and then the country at large. This mini-series is produced in partnership with the LGBT+ Archives Project of Louisiana and I thank them for their diligence preserving history and for helping in this production.

Each mini launches at noon, Central time, on the following dates and remain available thereafter.

• June 6 Mark Gonzalez, protest and ACT UP
• Aug 8 Noel Twillbeck and Crescent Care
• Oct 3 Brad Ott and underground publishing as activism
• Dec 5 Aids Hospice, Pierre Rene “Peter” DeLancey & commentary by Hywel Sims.

This is a gently evolving series subject to change.
