TODAY IN HISTORY

On this day in 2020, playwright and AIDS activist Larry Kramer died at age 84. Considered a controversial writer by some, Kramer played a role in the 1980s and ’90s public health policy shift by pushing officials to take the AIDS epidemic seriously.

PHOTO OF THE DAY
In the National Memorial Park, countless rows and rows of tombstones crisscross the grounds of those who died for today's peace. It should not be forgotten today.
