SUMMARY:Harvey Milk Day
DESCRIPTION:On May 22\, we honor the life and legacy of Harvey Milk\, the f
 irst openly gay politician in California and a leader of the American Civi
 l Rights Movement. Time magazine included Harvey Milk on a list titled “
 The 100 Most Important People of the 20th Century.” Milk was not only an
  advocate for the LGBT community\, but for all minorities. He believed in 
 safe\, strong neighborhoods and supported public education\, affordable ch
 ildcare\, and equal rights for all.\n\nElected to the position of city sup
 ervisor in San Francisco\, he held office for one year before his life was
  tragically cut short in 1978 by a political rival who opposed Milk’s li
 beral views. Harvey Milk’s contributions to the cause of equality for al
 l people has been recognized in a number of ways\, including the issuance 
 of a stamp with his picture on it\, the posthumous awarding of the Medal o
 f Freedom\, and the creation of a holiday in his memory. Harvey Milk Day w
 as officially established as a holiday in 2009 when Arnold Schwarzenegger\
 , then governor of California\, signed it into law. Although Milk died\, h
 is work continues today through the work of the Milk Foundation\, founded 
 by his nephew Stuart Milk\, in honor of his uncle.
