AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power (ACT UP) member held while police officer waits for handcuffs, Kansas City, Missouri, September 17, 1990. Photo © Cliff Schiappa. In September 1990, the American Medical Association (AMA) co-sponsored a national conference on “Quackery, Health Fraud, and Misinformation: A Pandora’s Box,” one in a series of such conferences that often included representation from the federal Food and Drug Administration. Despite the lack of meaningful traditional treatment for HIV/AIDS, the federal government and major medical organizations seemed to use these conferences to conflate “quackery” with potentially beneficial alternative treatments. AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power (ACT UP), therefore, descended upon the 1990 conference in Kansas City, and the group was met with fierce police resistance. #lgbthistory #lgbtherstory #lgbttheirstory #lgbtpride #QueerHistoryMatters #HavePrideInHistory #ActUp #FightBack #FightAIDS (at Kansas City, Missouri)

“What you see is a myosin protein dragging an endorphin along a filament to the inner part of the brain’s parietal cortex which creates happiness. Happiness. You’re looking at happiness.”
