Five Minute Histories: The Fight Against AIDS at First & Franklin Church

40 years ago, First & Franklin Presbyterian Church hosted Baltimore’s first public forum on the AIDS epidemic. Join us today at the church to hear about the activists who fought for LGBTQ rights and AIDS treatment in our city. Our special guest, Elder John McLucas, will tell us about the sections of the AIDS Memorial Quilt that will be available for public reflection here at the church through the end of June. Thanks for watching and see you next week.
This is our series called "Five Minute Histories." We record short videos about different historic places all over Baltimore and post them on our Facebook page, TH-cam channel, and website. For more information or to become a member of Baltimore Heritage, check out: baltimoreherit...
