That slogan, writ under a pink triangle, was the icon that fueled a revolution in AIDS activism in New York 20 years ago. Now this historically significant image has resurfaced for “ACT UP New York: Activism, Art, and the AIDS Crisis, 1987-1993,” encouraging Harvard to speak up about AIDS and explore its relevance to the community.
