Harvey Milk dedicated his life to promote equality for all. As an American citizen and civil rights activist, it is important that, as a nation, we recognize this man & his contribution to our founding ideals.
Already recognized in California and organized annually by the Harvey Milk Foundation, it is time we take a definitive step forward as a country through the inclusion of one of the formative leaders of the LGBT movement in our catalog of nationally-recognized days and their associated leaders.
May this day serve as a reminder of our civic duties and the need to stand for equality--even in the face of difficulty--as we continue to strive for a "more perfect Union."
