Honoring Harvey Milk in San Francisco City Hall is
One Step Closer!
At their regularly
scheduled September meeting, the San Francisco
Arts Commission (SFAC), took the next step towards
the realization of the dreams of many. They approved
the three finalist in the competition to create
a bronze memorial bust of the late, Supervisor
Harvey Milk.
Milk was one of the first openly
gay elected officials in the world and after his death
by assassination in 1978, he became a hero to the Lesbian
Gay Bisexual Transgender civil rights movement.
”This tribute to Harvey
Milk is long overdue… It is indeed time for his
legacy to be commemorated with a place of honor and
distinction in San Francisco’s City Hall.” said
San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom. Read the story here. |
