Circle of remembrance – National AIDS Memorial Grove

Posted in Photos by William Poole on July 13, 2008

Delavega Dell, in Golden Gate Park, sat abandoned and overgrown for years.  Beginning in 1991, hundreds of volunteers began renovating the 7.5-acre space as a memorial to those who had died and suffered as a result of AIDS.  Today, the Congressionally authorized memorial is one of he loveliest and best-tended corners of the park.  The circle is inscribed with the names of those who have died of AIDS.
