    “WHAT’S SPANISH FOR AIDS?”: LATINO ACTIVISM AGAINST RACIALLY EXCLUSIVE HIV/AIDS HEALTHCARE OUTREACH IN WASHINGTON, D.C., 1981-1995
    (2019) Brandli, Elizabeth Jane; Rosemblatt, Karin A; History; Digital Repository at the University of Maryland; University of Maryland (College Park, Md.)
    This research examines the racially exclusive health outreach practices in Washington, D.C. during the HIV/AIDS crisis that created barriers to healthcare for Latino residents. After analyzing the ways in which mainstream organizations failed to disseminate educational materials within Latino communities, this thesis turns to the ways in which Latino activists combatted exclusion and performed healthcare outreach within their communities. Finally, this research considers the national significance of the D.C. region on Latino HIV/AIDS outreach and the importance of immigrants and transregional migrants to the nation’s capital.
