WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (KABC) -- Thousands turned out to West Hollywood Park on Sunday for the 41st AIDS Walk Los Angeles.

Before the walk, ABC7's Kevin Ozebek talked to Irwin Rappaport, the Board Chair of The Foundation for The AIDS Monument. You can watch the interview in the video player above.

West Hollywood Park will be the home of the new STORIES: The AIDS Monument.

The monument will be made of 147 bronze pillars called "Traces" which will be 13 feet tall and measure approximately 4x4 inches at the base,

The Traces start with a very informal layout. As you move through them, the grid in which the Traces are located becomes more defined.

Thirty of the Traces have words engraved on them, representing what people were feeling and experiencing in the early days of the epidemic.
