The City of Key West has lost more than a thousand of its citizens to the AIDS epidemic. Some of their names are inscribed on a Memorial near the White Street Pier. The memorial is embedded in the sidewalk near the ocean, and made of flat smooth granite. The memorial was dedicated on World AIDS Day in 1997, and funded entirely through private sources.
At the time of dedication, there were 730 names engraved on the memorial. There are spaces for 1,500 names, and each year more are added and dedicated in a ceremony, also on World AIDS Day in December. A group called Friends of the Key West AIDS Memorial takes care of the memorial.
The website first posted in 1995 allows people to contribute their memories by adding photos, narratives, obituaries, sound clips, etc.
