In 1987, six years after AIDS became an officially recognized disease, the heartbreak of the epidemic was made real in the form of a huge, 1,920 panel quilt created to commemorate the first victims of the disease. Each panel - about the size of a coffin - honored one of the fallen ones who, in the deeply dark years before prevention and effective treatment, risked a death sentence just for being who they were.Parts of that quilt is now being spread out on the National Mall in DC and the NAMES Project will display the entire quilt over the next 31 days. You don't have to hop on the Amtrak to see it, however, thanks to a few clever hacks by Microsoft Garage, an internal project group designed to encourage innovation.
