AIDS QUILT AROUND THE BAY at SR’s Courthouse Square Today

Gary Carnivele May 8, 2021

AIDS Walk San Francisco began in 1987 as a day to honor the friends, family members, and neighbors we had lost, and to shine a light on the most marginalized members of society who were constantly ignored or treated without dignity.There’s no more powerful demonstration of the impact that HIV/AIDS has had on our community than the AIDS Memorial Quilt, which was inaugurally displayed on October 11, 1987 on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.. Recently, the National AIDS Memorial has become the permanent caretaker and steward of the Quilt, returning it to San Francisco where its story began.
This Sunday, May 9, tune into our curated#WalkItOut playlist, and take a stroll from 11am-2pm down to the Old Courthouse Square in Santa Rosa! There, you’ll find exclusive pop-up displays highlighting panels of the Quilt, hosted by the National AIDS Memorial. Come see a piece of the premiere symbol of the AIDS pandemic and a living memorial to a generation lost.
