Harvey Milk
Author: Lillian Faderman
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300235275
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
Harvey Milk—eloquent, charismatic, and a smart-aleck—was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977, but he had not even served a full year in office when he was shot by a homophobic fellow supervisor. Milk’s assassination at the age of forty-eight made him the most famous gay man in modern history; twenty years later Time magazine included him on its list of the hundred most influential individuals of the twentieth century. Before finding his calling as a politician, however, Harvey variously tried being a schoolteacher, a securities analyst on Wall Street, a supporter of Barry Goldwater, a Broadway theater assistant, a bead-wearing hippie, the operator of a camera store and organizer of the local business community in San Francisco. He rejected Judaism as a religion, but he was deeply influenced by the cultural values of his Jewish upbringing and his understanding of anti-Semitism and the Holocaust. His early influences and his many personal and professional experiences finally came together when he decided to run for elective office as the forceful champion of gays, racial minorities, women, working people, the disabled, and senior citizens. In his last five years, he focused all of his tremendous energy on becoming a successful public figure with a distinct political voice.

Publisher: Hart Pub
ISBN: 9780975340202
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
"A beautiful example of people's history" is what Howard Zinn calls HARVEY WASSERMAN'S HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES. This wildly readable, much-loved cult classic has thrilled general readers and graced high school and college courses since 1972. Robber Barons, farmers, workers and Bohemian hippies are the heroes and heroines, villains and imperialists of this uniquely compelling, bottom-up and fully footnoted tale of how the US transformed from a farm-based society to a world power. Rolling Stone calls this book "enjoyable to read" and Dr. Benjamin Spock called it "riveting history." "Harvey Wasserman is truly an original," adds Studs Terkel. There is no other history of the US like this one. Must reading for all who love and teach our national story. Available through Ingram Book Company or order online at www.harveywasserman.com.
