The prospects of a Pulse national memorial to be built on the site of the Pulse Nightclub, commemorating the victims, survivors, first responders, and those impacted by the 2016 mass shooting, appear less likely after the onePulse Foundation announced it would be terminating its lease with the current owners of the property on S. Orange Ave. in Orlando.
As the seventh anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting approaches, the nonprofit foundation established to create a permanent memorial and museum to honor the victims continues to be at odds with its founder on where to build the complex.
Orlando became the site of the worst massacre in Florida history, on June 12, 2016, but also a place where the heartbeat of “49 angels” continues to vibrate in a legacy of equality and acceptance that hopes to transform the world, including the Hispanic community in Central Florida.
