The fight for Montreal's 'Parc de l'espoir' AIDS memorial (Part 1)

from Queer Legends: An Oral History Podcast · host Shawn Dearn

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.  Hosted by: Award-winning broadcaster and communicator, Shawn Dearn. Cover art by Tim Singleton. Produced by Secret Agents.
