	glbtq >> social sciences >> Milk, Harvey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Milk was initially regarded as an upstart maverick by San Francisco's established gay community, as well as by the local political establishment, but against all expectations he succeeded in mobilizing gay voters and eventually winning election to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.
		The secret of Milk's eventual electoral success was his intuitive grasp of grass-roots activism, combined with a flair for grand theatrical gestures and a great deal of hard work to organize the Castro neighborhood as a political and economic force.
		There is a Harvey Milk High School for at-risk glbtq students in New York, as well as the Harvey Milk Civil Rights Academy elementary school in San Francisco's Castro neighborhood, where both the MUNI public transit station and the branch library have been named in his honor.

	DVD Verdict Review - The Times Of Harvey Milk
		The Times of Harvey Milk is one of the landmark documentaries of the 1980s, a fascinating, award-winning film that chronicles San Francisco politician Harvey Milk's rise as the city's first openly gay elected official and his chilling end at the hands of a fellow city supervisor.
		Milk also played a role in striking down the Briggs Initiative, a ballot measure that called for the dismissal of any teacher found to be "advocating, imposing, encouraging, or promoting" homosexual activity, even outside the classroom.
		Before hearing of Milk, auto machinist Jim Elliot was ambivalent towards gays, and says he was surprised when his union announced they were backing, as he puts it, "a fruit." As the film progresses, Elliot tells of his realization that Milk's politics were very close to his own, and helped break down his own preconceptions.
