{"value"=>"<p>ACT UP joins in protesting the anti-sodomy laws in Atlanta. [Ellen Spiro camera footage.] Begins with footage of airplane travel and arrival in Atlanta; continues with protests, speeches, demonstrations and arrests. Also contains TV newscasts of sodomy laws protests. Continues with the first ACT UP demonstration and protest at the CDC (the federal Centers for Disease Control).</p> <p>[From the ACT UP Capsule History: ]</p> <div class=\"note\"> <p>January 8-9, 1990 - ACT UP/NY joins ACT UP/Atlanta in two days of demonstrations in Georgia. Sixty-three people are arrested lying down in the street at the State Capitol demanding the immediate repeal of Georgia's sodomy laws. The next day hundreds besiege the federal Centers for Disease Control (CDC) headquarters with signs, banners and costumes protesting the CDC's narrow definition of AIDS (which excludes gynecological illnesses and illnesses more common to women, people of color and children). Forty-nine are arrested. In the week following the demos, ACT UP/Atlanta's membership triples.]</p></div>"}
