Listen Later

Have you ever wondered how the National AIDS Memorial Quilt came to be? And its connection with Atlanta? Julie Rhoad shares the origin story and tells the tale of the hidden ladders in the bushes of the Federal Building. 
Doug meets up with Julie at the Krog Street Market, in the Old Fourth Ward, to share some donuts and memories of Atlanta’s past, and future around LGBTQ+ rights.
Julie and Doug share more than a friendship -- they have a unique bond in their effort to help the communities impacted by the AIDS epidemic.
Julie was a key player in the development of the AIDS memorial quilt and is the immediate past President & CEO of The NAMES Project/AIDS Memorial Quilt.
