AIDS Memorial Project of Northeast Florida (AMP) requests your help.
If you were one of the 300 individuals who attended Jacksonville’s FIRST PRIDE celebration in 1978 at Willowbranch Park, we want to hear your story.
Currently AMP is working with our city government to create a historic marker within the park commemorating that remarkable event. Those in attendance were in great peril that day braving potential physical abuse. They had few allies, no police protection, and absolutely no political or religious support. They faced very real possibilities of loss including jobs, familial connections, military service, child custody, church community, and even a place to live. Upon their broad shoulders, we stand today with Jacksonville's PRIDE celebration being one of the largest in the southeast. Festivities are attended by thousands and thousands of celebrants.
Thank you to our sponsors for their continued support.
