Manage episode 305806161 series 2987054
One of North America's oldest HIV/AIDS memorials is located In the heart of Montreal's Gay village. It wouldn't have been possible without the courage of AIDS and community activists.
This episode introduces you to some of the folks who fought to create the park against opposition from homophobic City of Montreal officials. It also uncovered something startling - a 2019 city plan to "refresh" (read: erase) the park.
It was hard to believe that the same activists were now having to defend their memorial, again. This is the unbelievable story.
