Who was Harvey Milk?
Harvey Milk (1930-1978) was named "one of the 100 most important people of the twentieth century" by Time Magazine. Milk was the first openly gay person elected to office in California. In spite of death threats, he championed several human rights, labor, environmental, and free speech initiatives across North America. He was portrayed by Sean Penn in the movie Milk, and has been the subject of books, plays, an opera, and the Academy Award-winning documentary The Times of Harvey Milk. President Obama awarded Harvey Milk the Medal of Freedom, America's highest civilian honor.
