ETC.   The Wall-Las Memorias Project (www.thewalllasmemorias.org) was
       founded in 1993 to educate the Latino community about HIV/AIDS,
       and to show how denial hurts families, communities, and people
       living with HIV and AIDS. The Wall-Las Memorias' goal is the
       construction of a memorial in Lincoln Park to honor those who
       have lost their lives to AIDS, and to promote healing and
       understanding for their loved ones and the community.
