"This sprawling history of AIDS activism, based on hundreds of interviews conducted over a 20-year period, offers a stirring retrospective of the social movement responsible for tremendous advances in the ways people with HIV are treated in America – medically, politically and culturally. A veteran queer activist herself, Sarah Schulman aims to properly historicize both the accomplishments and the limitations of the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power. Let the Record Show is invaluable as both an archive and a blueprint for contemporary organizers of all stripes."
