Harvey Milk: The Politics of Hope
No Customer Reviews
Harvey Milk - The Politics of HopeHarvey Milk is a name that is beginning to resonate as widely as that of Martin Luther King Jr, Malcolm X or Steve Biko.The Californian politician was a ground breaker for the civil rights for a different, but still vulnerable, group of society.
Harvey Milk was gay. And, at a time when it was easier and safer to hide your sexuality under a cloak of perceived decency, he was prepared to risk everything to promote the rights of these American citizens.
In this book, we will look at his life. We will discover how the little-known businessman living in a Californian community, sought and gained political office.
How he fought for the rights of victims.
How he battled against discrimination.
And how, in his short life, and even shorter time in a seat of power, he brought about significant improvements in the civil rights of those he supported.
