Both the response to the AIDS crisis and Civil Rights demonstrations of the 60's involved marginalized groups fighting for recognition, rights, and resources in the face of widespread ignorance, discrimination, and oppression.

In both cases, activists and advocates had to fight against deep-seated social stigma and misinformation about the respective issues - whether it be the misconception that AIDS was only affecting the LGBTQ+ community or the belief that people of color were inherently inferior.

Additionally, both movements involved grassroots organizing, mass demonstrations, and the demand for governmental action to address the issues at hand. Activists in both movements often faced violence, backlash, and resistance from those in power who sought to maintain the status quo.

Ultimately, both the response to the AIDS crisis and Civil Rights demonstrations of the 60's were driven by a shared commitment to justice, equality, and the belief that every individual deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
