And the Band Played On
Photographs
This
site is intended to augment Randy Shilts’ landmark
history of the
AIDS
crisis, And the Band Played On, by
including photographs of the
people involved—the
doctors, the victims, the activists, the politicians.
The
purpose of putting faces on these individuals is to illustrate that
AIDS
is not just a medical or public policy matter.
It is a human issue.
