Manhattan, 1991: ACT UP demonstrators scale Grand Central Station's train timetable during their "Day of Desperation." ACT UP staged actions throughout the five boroughs of New York City in protest President George H.W. Bush's spending billions of dollars on the Gulf War while claiming there was no money for much-needed increases in AIDS programs.
The acronym ACT UP stands for AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power.
