U.S. News California: Grove Board Rejects "Living Memorial"December 27, 2007 Recently, the board of the National AIDS Memorial Grove in San Francisco voted down a controversial design aimed at raising more awareness about the disease. "Living Memorial" would have added 90 blackened steel poles, a new entrance, and a sidewalk to the grove's tranquil, tree-lined meadow. Many felt the design, described by some as evoking "what's left after a forest fire" and "burned telephone poles," was unnecessary and obtrusive. In what was described as a close vote, the board determined the organization did not have the capacity to raise enough money for the project.
