October 11, 1992: ACT UP NY holds its first political funeral — the ASHES Action — in Washington, DC, on the weekend of the final exhibition of the AIDS Quilt. In a procession starting at the Capitol, 11 people from both coasts carried ashes of friends, family and lovers. Met at the White House lawn by police in riot gear, on motorcycles, and on horses, the procession – by then some 8,000 strong – broke through police lines and scattered the ashes on the White House lawn.
