SCREENING OF "MILK"
Wednesday, November 18th 7pm
Sadleir House, 751 George St. North
Gay Rights Activist. Friend. Lover. Unifier. Politician. Fighter. Icon. Inspiration. Hero. His life changed history, and his courage changed lives. In 1977, Harvey Milk was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, becoming the first openly gay man to be voted into major public office in America. His victory was not just a victory for gay rights; he forged coalitions across the political spectrum. From senior citizens to union workers, Harvey Milk changed the very nature of what it means to be a fighter for human rights and became, before his untimely death in 1978, a hero for all Americans. Presented by OPIRG (and often co-hosted by other social justice and environmental organizations). Students and non-students alike are invited! The film and the organic popcorn are free, but donations are happily accepted! For more information contact OPIRG at 741-1208. Special thanks to the Trent Film Society **wheelchair accessible**
