About The National AIDS Memorial Grove
The National AIDS Memorial Grove is a 10-acre living memorial located in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park dedicated to lives touched by AIDS. It is where millions have gathered-and continue to gather - for healing, hope, remembrance, and historical information about AIDS and the AIDS movement for more than three decades. In October 1996, through passage of legislation spearheaded by Representative Nancy Pelosi and signed by President Bill Clinton, the "National AIDS Memorial Grove Act of 1996" designated the site a national memorial.
