Second oral history interview with Shed Boren, conducted by Dan Royles for the Miami AIDS Memorials Project. Recently diagnosed with stage four renal cancer, Boren reflects on mortality, drawing sustained parallels between his current experience and the deaths of friends and community members during the AIDS epidemic. He remembers individuals lost to AIDS and reflects on the unresolved trauma carried by LGBTQ+ survivors, including his own. Boren discusses his work in HIV services in Miami in the 1980s and 1990s, ACT UP Miami actions, and the founding of SAVE and other local advocacy efforts. The interview closes with his reflections on memory, memorialization, and the urgency of preserving LGBTQ+ history in the current political moment.
