Tras alarmantes tasas de VIH y SIDA entre negros e hispanos en Houston el Quilt Conmemorativo Nacional del SIDA llega a la ciudad

PRESS RELEASE - Thu, 27 Apr 2023 14:35:47

— La campaña “Change the Pattern” está rompiendo el estigma y salvando vidas en comunidades negras y latinas —

SOURCE: NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE

HOUSTON, TX — 27 de abril de 2023 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — Las estadísticas muestran una realidad, hay una grave crisis de VIH en Houston y aún más específicamente entre negros e hispanos. Es por eso que el Quilt Conmemorativo Nacional del SIDA hará una parada en Houston del 3 al 7 de mayo.

“Según el Departamento de Salud de Houston, los negros y afroamericanos representan el 50 por ciento de todos los casos de VIH/SIDA, y los latinos representan el 29 por ciento de todos los casos de VIH/SIDA”, dijo Duane Cramer, director de participación comunitaria del Quilt, National AIDS Memorial. “Estas cifras son demasiado altas y el estigma en torno al VIH y el SIDA en las comunidades negras e hispanas es demasiado frecuente. A través de Change the Pattern, estamos trabajando en terreno en Houston para garantizar que las personas más afectadas por el VIH y el SIDA obtengan la información que necesitan para vivir y, al mismo tiempo, honrar las vidas pérdidas por esta devastadora enfermedad”.

En otro informe de los Centers for Disease Control (Centros para el Control de Enfermedades), Houston ocupó el noveno lugar en la nación en cuanto a índices de nuevos diagnósticos de VIH. En comparación con el resto de los EE. UU., Houston también tuvo tasas más bajas de personas que permanecieron en atención del VIH y lograron la supresión viral. La carga más alta se encuentra entre los hombres negros más jóvenes que tienen sexo con hombres y representan el 19 por ciento de todos los diagnósticos nuevos.

“Change the Pattern rinde homenaje a los seres queridos pérdidos por el SIDA y, al mismo tiempo, genera acción para acabar con el VIH/SIDA en Houston”, dijo John Cunningham, director ejecutivo del National AIDS Memorial. “Esta iniciativa nacional funciona a nivel local para destacar el impacto que la enfermedad ha tenido en las comunidades negras, latinas y LBGTQ+ y educar y motivar a las personas para que ayuden a poner fin a la epidemia”.

Change the Pattern en Houston

Del 3 al 7 de mayo, más de 200 piezas del Quilt Conmemorativo Nacional del SIDA se exhibirán en The MAG, ubicado en el centro de Houston, como parte de la exhibición Art of Black Pride: Black Like Me y del 4 al 5 de mayo en el Black Queer AF Music Festival. Las exhibiciones están disponibles en español e inglés, son gratuitas para el público e incluyen talleres de quilt y foros educativos. Para obtener más información sobre las ubicaciones de Quilt, los horarios de los eventos y la programación especial, visite www.changethepattern.org.

El sábado 29 de abril, de 11:00 a.m. a 4:00 p.m., los habitantes de Houston están invitados a compartir y disfrutar celebrando el Quilt a través de un taller de quilt en el Centro Comunitario Blue Triangle, 3005 McGowen St, Houston, TX 77004.

El National AIDS Memorial, Southern AIDS Coalition (SAC), y Gilead Sciences están trabajando para ‘change the pattern’ en Houston al traer secciones del Quilt Conmemorativo Nacional del SIDA a la ciudad. Los patrocinadores adicionales incluyen Bank of America, Chevron y CVS Health.

El Quilt rinde homenaje a las vidas negras y latinas pérdidas por el VIH y el SIDA y ha viajado a varios estados del sur como parte de Change the Pattern, una campaña nacional para acabar con el VIH en las comunidades negras, latinas y LGBTQ+ del sur de los EE. UU.

Las personas que visitarán el Quilt verán paneles cosidos a mano en honor a las vidas negras y latinas pérdidas por el SIDA, muchos de los cuales fueron hechos por residentes de Houston y Texas para honrar y celebrar las historias de sus amigos y seres queridos. También se mostrarán paneles del Quilt recién creados para presentar la importancia del Quilt a una nueva generación mientras se difunde la conciencia de cómo el VIH impacta las vidas en todo el sur.

Como muestra activa de la lucha en curso por los derechos civiles de las personas que viven con SIDA, el Quilt Conmemorativo Nacional del SIDA muestra con orgullo un panel hecho a mano por la icónica de los derechos civiles Rosa Parks.

Estadísticas Alarmantes Muestran una Realidad

La carga desproporcionada del VIH en el sur se encuentra entre las mujeres negras, los hombres homosexuales y bisexuales negros y latinos, y las mujeres transgénero negras y latinas. Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Georgia, Carolina del Sur, Alabama, Carolina del Norte y Tennessee se encuentran entre los 15 estados con las tasas más altas de VIH en el país. El racismo, el estigma del VIH, la homofobia, la pobreza y las barreras a la atención médica continúan impulsando estas disparidades.

Acerca de Change the Pattern

En la lucha por acabar con el VIH y el SIDA en el sur de los EE. UU., el National AIDS Memorial se ha asociado con Southern AIDS Coalition para traer secciones del Quilt Conmemorativo Nacional del SIDA en honor a las vidas negras, latinas y LGBTQ+ pérdidas por el VIH y el SIDA a las comunidades de toda la región para crear conciencia sobre la crisis del VIH que persiste hoy en día dentro de las comunidades de color y las poblaciones marginadas. Financiado a través de una subvención de $2.4 millones de Gilead Sciences, Change the Pattern se enfoca principalmente en llegar a las comunidades afectadas de manera desproporcionada por el VIH y el SIDA a través de exhibiciones gratuitas de Quilt, talleres de confección de quilts, programas educativos y promoción.

🇺🇸🇨🇺🇵🇷🗽 What a way to begin Hispanic Heritage Month and commemorate 25 years since 9/11 in New York.

Thank you to everyone who has read, commented, and shared. This story has now reached around 2 million people across platforms and traveled around the world.

This trip became an emotional homecoming. People traveled to New York not only to remember, but to return pieces of my family’s history.

The most precious was a photograph of Dad and me during my first summer working in his office on the 19th floor of the South Tower. We believed it was lost forever on 9/11. Ms. Carole, one of Dad’s secretaries—whom he helped survive that day—had kept a duplicate. After her passing, her grandson Frankie found it, along with my World Trade Center pass marked 2/19 (South Tower, 19th Floor). I’ve now been asked to submit this history to the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.

I also learned more about Dad’s life: my Cuban father was an early supporter and organizer of the National Puerto Rican Day Parade; his baseball career led to ceremonial first pitches; and in 1972 he received the American Heritage Award during a “Spanish Night” in New York. In 2025, I received the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award—continuing the legacy of service Mom and Dad began.

Agent Lee shared another chapter: when his family’s Chinatown restaurant was targeted by anti-Asian violence, my parents helped bring the community back—and I, a little girl in a She-Ra shirt, worked beside them asking, “What would Jesus do?” His family called me their 貴人 (Guìrén): a benefactor who arrives at the right moment.

The white suit and black dress I wore in New York belonged to Mom. Wearing them felt like carrying her with me.

As an only child, it has been my greatest honor to have always been by my late parents' side throughout my life and to care for them in their final years. I’m humbled that this story has connected us across different generations and borders.

Thank you for reminding me: “You might be far, but you are never forgotten.”

John 13:34–35 | Jeremiah 29:11

🇺🇸 My Father Survived 9/11—But 9/11 Ultimately Took His Life.

🇺🇸 Twenty-five years ago, my father, José Quintero Ramos, was on the 19th floor of the South Tower when the North Tower was struck. Dad had survived the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and knew something was wrong. He insisted his secretaries and coworkers leave. Holding hands, they formed a human chain and began descending the stairs.

🇺🇸 Then the second plane struck their tower.

🇺🇸 The lights went dark. Smoke, ash, and debris filled the hot stairwell. Dad gave others the handkerchiefs he always carried so they could breathe, leaving only his arm to cover his own face.

🇺🇸 As firefighters and first responders climbed upward, Dad thanked them and squeezed their shoulders. One young firefighter rested his face in Dad’s hand—like a son receiving a father’s blessing. Dad never saw him again.

🇺🇸 Dad and his coworkers escaped and crossed the street only moments before the South Tower collapsed at 9:59 a.m. Those with him later said they would not have survived without his insistence. His courage saved lives.

🇺🇸 For more than ten hours, we did not know whether he was alive.

🇺🇸 Covered in ash, blood, and cuts, he walked for hours across the Brooklyn Bridge to the Cathedral Basilica of St. James, where I was baptized. A priest wiped his face, embraced him, and prayed.

🇺🇸 Our family was blessed with nearly 19 more years—but Dad was never the same. He ultimately died from respiratory failure caused by the toxic air he breathed that day. He is now officially recognized as a 9/11 victim.

🇺🇸 On this 25th anniversary, I remain honor-bound as his daughter to tell his story—especially as 9/11 moves from living memory into history.

🇺🇸 9/11 did not end on September 11, 2001. Its toll continues whenever another survivor or responder dies from a related illness.

🇺🇸 May we remember those lost that day, those lost in the years since, and everyone still suffering.

🇺🇸 Daddy, your courage lives on. We will never forget. 🤍🕊️

🗽 🇺🇸 Daddy, I’ve returned to our home state to represent you at both private and public official 25th anniversary September 11th remembrance events in New York. 
🗽 🇺🇸 Your little girl is traveling solo, but safeguarded at each event by a private security team that has been prearranged for me—just another example of God’s favor and how our (good) reputation has preceded us. 
🗽 🇺🇸 It’s a reaffirmation of your protection over me still and a nostalgic reflection of the times when we all traveled together during our careers. 
🗽 🇺🇸 It is my honor to continue being your daughter and to carry the legacy. 🤍🕊️

🤍 🇨🇺 🇺🇸 🕊️ Grief and Daddy’s Little Girl.

Daddy, six years ago today, you entered eternity. Your courage on 9/11 helped others survive but ultimately cost you your life. You are now officially recognized among its victims.

Mommy passed in January. Nine months later came my MS diagnosis. A year later, on September 6, I lost you—five days before 9/11. Oh, September. We used to be friends because of fall and all things pumpkin. Not anymore.

This photo takes me back outside St. Patrick’s Cathedral. You were about to speak beside Rev. Jesse Jackson at a rally for 7,000 workers displaced by sugar refinery closures. I was seven. You handed me the mic, and I joked that kids loved sugar, families needed jobs, and we had to “keep hope alive.” I only wanted to make you proud—and get the steak sandwich and ice cream you’d promised near the World Trade Center.

Grief doesn’t take a holiday. “The death of a beloved is an amputation.” —C.S. Lewis

My parents taught me to serve and bloom where God planted me. Joshua’s special-needs diagnosis turned my grief into advocacy and a nonprofit for families. Service is our legacy and biblical calling.

But the Church must do better after loss—not only at funerals, but through the months, years, birthdays, and anniversaries. Grief is lifelong, not a race. Heaven doesn’t erase how deeply we miss their presence. Shepherding means calling, listening, and showing up so no one feels invisible or alone.

To those touched by how I honor my parents, thank you. To anyone grieving a loved one, disability, or special-needs parenting: I see you. You’re not alone. Jeremiah 29:11.

To the sweet mama in the UK: throw the plates if you need to. Jesus wept. Jesus got angry. He understands. Call me.

I know Mommy and Daddy are proud, yet my heart and soul are heavy. As the 25th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, I’ll go to NYC alone to honor Daddy.

Te amamos para siempre. 🤍

P.S. If anyone hears the rapture trumpets while I’m gone, tell God I have a VIP Express ticket—and I don’t mind pushing a few people out of the way. 🥹😇😂
