Read MoreThe World AIDS Museum located at 1201 NE 26th Street, Suite 111, Wilton Manors, Florida is near completion and set to open. Fortunately I was able get a sneak preview of this one of a kind and the only museum in the world dedicated not only to the history and understanding of the AIDS epidemic, but with the clearly stated missions of increasing awareness, decreasing stigma, remembrance of those who have suffered, educating and enlightening the world to this continuing tragedy while empowering its survivors.
The location within the self-governing community Wilton Manors couldn't be more fitting as it contains the highest per capita gay population in the world, which as everyone should know, was one of the first segments of the world's population to be so decimated by AIDS prior to recognition of in fact that it was indeed a truly worldwide epidemic effecting everyone and every aspect of the world's human population.
The World Aids Museum is nicely organized, well arranged in a time line of historical displays and staffed by dedicated volunteers. It's small, but what it lacks in size is more than made up for by the inspiration, education and awareness it offers.
Whether one realizes it or not, everyone in this world has been affected either directly or indirectly by the tragedy of the worldwide epidemic of AIDS. So, it might be a good idea to stop by and learn something more about it. After all, knowledge is power; silence and ignorance are death.
