Artifact Overview

Harvey Milk ran unsuccessfully for the City and County of San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1973 and 1975. Two years later, Milk succeeded, making him the first openly gay elected official in California. He was assassinated in 1978, and the lenient sentencing of his killer angered the LGBTQ+ community. Milk is still remembered for inspiring hope for the historically marginalized.
