On May 21, 1990, around 1000 ACT UP members initiated a choreographed demonstration at the [[National Institutes of Health]] (NIH) in [[Bethesda, Maryland]], splitting into sub-groups across the campus. The protest was in part directed at [[National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease]] and its director, [[Anthony Fauci]]. Activists were angered by what they felt was slow progress on promised research and treatment efforts.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Anderson |first1=Andrea |title=Demonstrating Discontent, May 21, 1990 |newspaper=The Scientist Magazine |url=https://www.the-scientist.com/foundations/demonstrating-discontent-may-21-1990-31227 |publisher=The Scientist |access-date=20 June 2020 |date=16 July 2017 |archive-date=July 14, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200714215458/https://www.the-scientist.com/foundations/demonstrating-discontent-may-21-1990-31227 |url-status=dead }}</ref> According to Kramer, this was their best demonstration, but was almost completely ignored by the media because of a large fire in Washington, D.C., on the same day.{{Citation needed|date=November 2010}}
