Apologies for posting this after World AIDS Day, but if you haven't viewed the AIDS Memorial Quilt in a while (or ever), it is available online. As Washington City Paper notes, the quilt was first displayed on the National Mall in 1987 with 1,920 panels commemorating the dead; when it was last stretched in its entirety across the Mall in 1996, it has more than 39,000. COVID-19 made it impossible to exhibit portions of the quilt in locations across America, this year, but you can view all its blocks, categorized by state and curated by display hosts, online. Washington, D.C.'s representatives include the Library of Congress and the Whitman-Walker Clinic.
