| 释义 |
The World AIDS Museum and Educational Center, located at 1201 NE 26th St. in Wilton Manors, Florida, opened on May 15, 2014.[1][2][3] The AIDS Museum and Educational Center began as a HIV support group, Pozitive Attitudes ([https://pozitiveattitudes.com/]), at the Pride Center in Fort Lauderdale. The facilitator of that group was Steve Stagon and it was his idea to create an AIDS museum, in south Florida because Broward County and Miami-Dade County are "the epicenter of the AIDS crisis in America."[4] A non-profit corporation was set up and fundraising began. After various local exhibits in churches and the Pride Center, once they had enough funding they choose the location on 26th Street. On Nov 07, 2013, Magic Johnson visited the World AIDS Museum and dedicated the space, 22 years to the day he announced his HIV status. Doors officially opened to the public in May 2014. The World AIDS Museum and Educational Center has a main gallery featuring the historical timeline of the AIDS epidemic, 2 art galleries, and a research library. They also do traveling exhibits and educational programs in the schools. The current Executive Director is Requel Lopes. Author and AIDS activist Larry Kramer, who spoke there on March 9, 2017,[5] remarked:
