| | A ‘Magna Carta’ of sorts: In 1983, as AIDS hysteria swept across the nation, a group of advocates set out to remove the stigma of the illness and assert healthcare as a human right. At a gathering in Denver, they penned The Denver Principles that sparked a revolution. How did the manifesto serve as the “Magna Carta of AIDS activism”? And why are the words still so important 40 years later? (Above, people march during a Pride parade in 1983.)
