The macher behind the march was Cleve Jones, 55, a man who, in his younger days, was a compatriot of Harvey Milk's and, later, the conceiver of the most powerful work of American folk art, the AIDS quilt.

Hoffman’s tril the Crimson boat had made its social stance known as early in July—two months before the Games began.
