Abstract

REGULARS27 November 1978 Politician Harvey Milk was one of the first openly gay elected officials in America. A staunch LGBTQ+ activist, he was a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1978 when he and Mayor George Moscone were shot by fellow politician Dan White in San Francisco's City Hall. In this photograph, Milk's body is pictured being removed from the building. At White's trial the following year he was convicted of voluntary manslaughter, sparking the White Night Riots in which the LGBTQ+ community took to the streets of San Francisco in response to the lenient sentencing.
