Description
The American flag and the Rainbow flag, the latter an emblem of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people, are both above the entrance to the Whitman-Walker Clinic in Washington, D.C. Since the early 1980s, Whitman-Walker has been a national leader in community health care for people living with HIV or AIDS. This photograph is of its main clinic near Logan Circle, and is known as the Elizabeth Taylor Medical Center in honor of the late actress's work for the AIDS epidemic at a time when mainstream America shunned the disease, and the people suffering from it.
