The five photographers featured in the GLBT History Museum's new exhibition, "Life and Death in Black and White: AIDS Direct Action in San Francisco, 1985-1990," will discuss their experiences documenting the emergence of militant AIDS activism in San Francisco through the medium of black-and-white film.

All of the images in "Life and Death in Black and White" portray civil disobedience as a response to discrimination, indifference and official neglect in the face of a fatal epidemic. Jane Philomen Cleland, Patrick Clifton, Marc Geller, Rick Gerharter and Daniel Nicoletta will recount the stories behind the photos and will address the role of photography and photojournalism in the struggle for social justice for people with AIDS.

Admission to the panel is $5.00 (general); $3.00 (California students with ID); free for museum members.
