gscene.comMany commemorated American politician and LGBTQ+ activist, Harvey Milk, on Friday November 27, which marked 42 years since his assassination by political opponent, Dan White, less than a year after being voted onto the San Francisco city board in 1977.
However, a recent piece in The Guardian discussed the little known fact that Milk’s opposition to police brutality played a key part in his murder, along with the killing of San Francisco’s progressive mayor George Moscone – an issue relevant to today’s Black Lives Matter movement, which contests police violence.
The piece, which described Dan White as a ‘bigot’, said at the time of Milk and Moscone’s deaths, the city board was debating a potential decree which would have been a ‘major step’.
