5 minHarvey Milk was a camera store owner, a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors (like city council), and a gay rights activist who was killed in City Hall in 1978, along with Mayor George Moscone.
“HARVEY MILK: Out of the Bars and Into the Streets” is an an audio walking tour about Harvey Milk and the rise of gay power in 1970s San Francisco. The tour goes from the site of Harvey Milk’s old camera shop at 575 Castro Street, to San Francisco City Hall.
The tour features original interviews with Harvey’s friends and colleagues, as well as archival audio to transport the listener to a dramatic time in gay political organizing.
The route is the same as that of Harvey’s walk to his inauguration, the candlelight march after he was killed, and the protest after his killer’s sentencing. The route is a mostly flat 1.75 miles, makes several stops along the way, and takes about 70 minutes. Start at 575 Castro Street.
