SUMMARY:HIV/AIDS Oral History Project
DESCRIPTION:Help RCHS Save Lives:\nThe HIV/AIDS Oral History Project\nRCHS is collecting oral histories to save lives. We are documenting the appalling gap between identifying HIV/AIDS as a health crisis and the full-scale response required to develop effective treatments\, a delay that allowed the deaths of thousands. A total of 35 oral histories are being recorded and the results are being provided to lawmakers across the country to encourage faster responses to current and future medical crisis. The project recently received a matching $10\,000 challenge grant from the Jay & Rose Phillips Family Foundation of Minnesota. \nYou can help – learn more here!
