Celebrate Harvey's Birthday: May 22nd

This coming May 22nd would have been Harvey Milk's 78th birthday. Mayor Gavin Newsom and scads of SF luminaries will celebrate the occasion by unveiling the long-awaited Milk Memorial statue at City Hall that evening. Find more info on the MilkMemorial.org website and if you can't make it to the ceremony please go ahead and make a donation to the Milk Memorial Project (they're still raising money).
