Harvey Milk Day - Celebrating Life and Legacy

Jul 22, 2019

Welcome to La Historia Society, the leading community and society organization committed to promoting inclusivity, equality, and social justice. Join us as we celebrate Harvey Milk Day, a special occasion dedicated to honoring the life and legacy of Harvey Milk, an influential political figure in the LGBTQ+ rights movement.

About Harvey Milk

Harvey Bernard Milk was born on May 22, 1930, in Woodmere, New York. He became one of the first openly gay elected officials in the United States when he won a seat on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977. Throughout his life, Milk fought tirelessly for the rights and dignity of the gay community, advocating for equality, non-discrimination, and fair representation.

Milk's charisma, passion, and unwavering commitment to justice left an indelible impact on both the LGBTQ+ community and the broader society. His tragic assassination on November 27, 1978, brought widespread attention to issues surrounding LGBTQ+ rights and sparked a wave of activism and advocacy that continues to this day.

Celebrating Harvey Milk Day

Harvey Milk Day, observed annually on May 22nd, serves as a reminder of the progress made in the fight for LGBTQ+ equality and the work that is still needed to create a more inclusive society. La Historia Society wholeheartedly joins this celebration by organizing a series of educational events, advocacy initiatives, and community programs.
