A memorial to
Snohomish County, Wash., residents who’ve died of
AIDS complications was recently unveiled in Everett,
Wash., culminating five years of efforts by local gay
activists to honor those afflicted by the disease, the
Seattle Gay News reports. The memorial, a
bronze plaque supported by two columns, was dedicated on
World AIDS Day in the plaza of the old Mission Building in
downtown Everett, marking the first such memorial to
AIDS victims in the state. The plaque reads,
“We remember our friends and family lost to AIDS. We
honor your struggles, your lives, and your memory. We
dedicate this memorial to all those lives touched by
HIV and AIDS.” The memorial was designed by
George Little and David Lewis of Bainbridge Island,
Washington State. (Advocate.com)
