A Day of Significance

Yesterday would have been Harvey's 80th birthday and marked the first annual Harvey Milk Day - a day of "special significance" in California. People in California as well as all over the country used the day to celebrate Harvey's life through picnics, gatherings, and performances, but also to protest discriminatory practices.

Happy Birthday Harvey! You continue to inspire us.
