On this World AIDS Day, the National AIDS Memorial Quilt is on display at Atlanta's Dunbar Elementary.

The public can see the quilt this evening when the Atlanta Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. unveils two panels. They'll be added to the already more than 49,000 blocks that make up the entire quilt.


Dr. Mary Knight, Co-Chair of the Atlanta organization's International Awareness and Involvement Committee says the panels will be unveiled during a program from 6-8 p.m.
