The Struggle of Aids in the Latino Community
Thursday, November 1, 2007
12:40-2:00 pm
UNLH 1000

Richard Zaldivar's vision, leadership and commitment led the struggle 
to create the first public-privately funded AIDS monument in the 
nation -  The Wall/Las Memorias Project located in Lincoln Park in 
the heart of East Los Angeles. The wall is a memorial to the people 
who have died of AIDS and serves as a reminder that we must continue 
the fight against denial, discrimination and stigma against those 
living with HIV/AIDS. Mr. Zaldivar has continued to distinguish 
himself as the director and founder of The Wall/Las Memorias Project 
a non-profit organization dedicated to empower the Latino community 
on issues of HIV/AIDS education and prevention. Its mission is to "To 
preserve the AIDS monument as an inspirational tool to educate the 
community about cultural denial, HIV/AIDS and to promote activism and 
healthy living".
