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. 600 10 $a Milk, Harvey. 600 14 $a Milk, Harvey. 650 0 $a Gay politicians $z San Francisco $z San Francisco $v Biography. 650 0 $a Politicians $z San Francisco $z San Francisco $v Biography. 650 0 $a Gay men $z San Francisco $z San Francisco $v Biography. 650 0 $a Jewish men $z San Francisco $z San Francisco $v Biography. 650 0 $a Gay liberation movement $z San Francisco $z San Francisco $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / LGBT. $2 bisacsh 650 4 $a Jewish men $z San Francisco $z San Francisco $v Biography. 650 4 $a Gay politicians $z San Francisco $z San Francisco $v Biography. 650 4 $a Gay men $z San Francisco $z San Francisco $v Biography. 650 4 $a Politicians $z San Francisco $z San Francisco $v Biography. 650 4 $a Gay liberation movement $z San Francisco $z San Francisco $x History $y 20th century. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 4 $a Biographies. 830 0 $a Jewish lives (New Haven, Conn.) 941 $a 8 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722060203.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200806024226.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210025752.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20190726011830.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20190205032015.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006115405.0 952 $l HWAX074 $d 20180926012751.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20180728011728.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=89478276840911E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
