ALTERNATE FORMATS: RELATED HOLDINGS: ACCESSION 2012.0116 NUMBER: NOTES: BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Joseph F. Miller was born 26 February 1951 in a Quebec City orphanage in Canada to a single mother. He and his twin brother Charles were adopted together as infants and raised on a farm in Eaton, Indiana. After his adoptive parents passed away, Joe met his birth mother and biological family in 2001. Miller became a businessman, philanthropist, and political activist. Through his Joseph F. Miller Foundation, he made contributions to many organizations involved with humanitarian, health, and social causes. Much of his charitable contributions went toward AIDS education and prevention efforts internationally and locally. He was a board member of Indiana Cares, the nation’s second oldest HIV/AIDS education and prevention organization and spent several years as the board chair of the Indiana AIDS Fund. He also served on the board of the Damien Center, Indiana’s largest HIV/AIDS service provider. His generosity to that organization resulted in the Joseph F. Miller Center for Testing and Prevention, which opened in 2006, to enhance the services of the Damien Center. Miller was a strong supporter of the ACLU of Indiana, serving as a board member beginning in 1996 as well as serving on its foundation board. He made the largest single contribution in the history of ACLU Indiana and was honored with its Robert Risk Award in 2000 and its Founders Day Award in 2003. Miller was twice named a Sagamore of the Wabash – by both governors Frank O’Bannon and Joe Kernan. In 1995 former Governor Evan Bayh appointed Miller to the Indiana Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sport. He was a founding director of the Indiana Stonewall Democrats and active with Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition. In October 1999 he traveled to Russia with a group including Indiana's First Lady Judy O’Bannon and Indiana business, educational, and other professionals. The 12-day trip was coordinated by People-to-People Ambassador Programs. The itinerary included Moscow, Novgorod, and St. Petersburg. Miller renovated a historic African American church into a downtown Indianapolis office building where he lived and worked. He served on the boards of the Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana and the Indianapolis Opera Society. He was a trustee of the Indiana Historical Society from 2009 until his death in 2010, serving on committees for marketing and for the Indiana Experience campaign. Miller died at home on 26 August 2010. A memorial service was held at the Indiana Repertory Theater in Indianapolis on 7 September 2010. Sources: Ancestry Library Edition.

SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE This collection contains materials from the estate of Joseph F. Miller that pertain to his activities such as work in behalf of people with AIDS, Democratic Party campaigns, the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, honoring Rosa Parks, and a People-to-People trip to Russia. The collection was received as 24 framed items, with many of the frames holding several related pieces. Most of the collection has been unframed for ease of storage and access. The contents of each frame have been kept together and listed together below. The AIDS fundraising posters were each in their own frames originally. One of the frames holding items related to Rosa Parks had a packet of related materials attached to the back of the frame. The items from that packet have also been kept together. For reasons of conservation, a few of the frames have been left intact while other pieces have been unframed but with the contents remaining mounted on their original mats. The collection is arranged into six series: AIDS-related materials; business achievement; Democratic political campaigns; Rainbow PUSH Coalition; Honoring Rosa Parks; and People-to-People trip to Russia.

  • Housing for Persons Living with HIV/AIDS
    Housing for Persons Living with HIV/AIDS Libby Perl Specialist in Housing Policy July 3, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL34318 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Housing for Persons Living with HIV/AIDS Summary Since the beginning of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) epidemic in the early 1980s, many individuals living with the disease have had difficulty finding affordable, stable housing. As individuals become ill, they may find themselves unable to work, while at the same time facing health care expenses that leave few resources to pay for housing. In addition, many of those persons living with AIDS struggled to afford housing even before being diagnosed with the disease. The financial vulnerability associated with AIDS, as well as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that causes AIDS, results in a greater likelihood of homelessness among persons living with the disease. At the same time, those who are homeless may be more likely to engage in activities through which they could acquire or transmit HIV. Further, recent research has indicated that those individuals living with HIV who live in stable housing have better health outcomes than those who are homeless or unstably housed, and that they spend fewer days in hospitals and emergency rooms. Congress recognized the housing needs of persons living with HIV/AIDS when it approved the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program in 1990 as part of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act (P.L. 101-625). The HOPWA program, administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), funds short-term and permanent housing, together with supportive services, for individuals living with HIV/AIDS and their families.

  • The First World AIDS Day
    1 On June 5, 1981, the United States Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued its first warning about a relatively rare form of pneumonia among a small group of young gay men in Los Angeles, which was later deter- mined to be AIDS-related. Since that time, tens of millions of people have been infected with HIV worldwide. The Global HIV/AIDS Timeline is designed to serve as an ongoing reference tool for the many political, scientific, cultural, and community developments that have occurred over the history of the epidemic. Started in 1988, World AIDS Day is not just about raising money, but also about increasing awareness, fighting prejudice and improving education. World AIDS Day is important in reminding people that HIV has not gone away, and that there are many things still to be done. ~avert.org, 2006 2 While 1981 is generally referred to as the beginning of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, scientists believe that HIV was present years before the first case was brought to public attention. In 1959, The first known case of HIV in a human occurs in a person who died in the Congo, later confirmed as hav- ing HIV infection from his preserved blood samples. The authors of the study did not sequence a full virus from his samples, writing that "attempts to amplify HIV-1 fragments of >300 base pairs were unsuccessful, . Howev- er, after numerous attempts, four shorter sequences were obtained" that represented small portions of two of the six genes of the complete AIDS virus. In New York City, on June 28, 1959, Ardouin Antonio, a 49-year-old Jamaican-American shipping clerk dies of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, a disease closely associated with AIDS.
