Description
John Bell speaks into the handheld microphone of a megaphone at an ACT UP Philadelphia protest of DuPont Pharmaceuticals. He holds two sheets of yellow paper in one hand. Behind him, ACT UP Philadelphia member Kate Sorensen is shouting or chanting and wearing a t-shirt with a pink triangle that reads "Silence = Death." A black banner with white lettering hangs from a truck in the background.
ACT UP Philadelphia protested DuPont to demand a reduction to the price of the HIV medication Sustiva. According to Paul Davis, who took the photo, this action was the first time that John Bell was arrested for civil disobedience.
