关于哈维·米尔克
哈维·米尔克, a University at Albany alumnus (then called the New York State College for Teachers at Albany), was a visionary civil and human rights leader who 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. Milk’s unprecedented and unapologetic proclamation of his authenticity as an openly gay candidate for public office and his subsequent election gave never-before experienced hope to LGBTQIA+ people everywhere at a time when the community was encountering widespread hostility and discrimination. His remarkable career was tragically cut short when he was assassinated nearly a year after taking office.

关于哈维·米尔克基金会
The 哈维·米尔克 Foundation was established by Harvey’s nephew 斯图尔特牛奶 and Harvey’s campaign manager, 安妮Kronenberg. 斯图尔特, 像哈维, has chosen to speak out as an openly gay advocate for not only the LGBTQIA+ community but also the collective communities of people who remain marginalized or diminished by inequality in the law as well as societal inequality. 哈维·米尔克 believed broad public education and dialogue were paramount to his life’s work as a civil rights leader and, 好像骑在哈维的肩膀上, 牛奶基金会旨在激励个人, communities and organizations to carry on his values in a timeless vision for a better world.
