If You Saw "Milk"...

...this documentary on the life of Harvey Milk is a very good complement.

If you didn't see "Milk" this is an excellent documentary in it's own right about a sad chapter in San Francisco's as well as the Nation's history.



A postscript to the documentary and movie: There could have been more victims the day that Moscone and Milk were murdered.

From Wikipedia...

In 1998, Frank Falzon, the homicide inspector with the San Francisco police to whom White had turned himself in after the killings, said that he met White in 1984, and that at this meeting White had confessed that he had the intention to kill not only Moscone and Milk, but another supervisor, Carol Ruth Silver, and then-member of the California State Assembly (and future San Francisco Mayor) Willie Lewis Brown, Jr. as well.

Falzon quoted White as having said, "I was on a mission. I wanted four of them. Carol Ruth Silver, she was the biggest snake ... and Willie Brown, he was masterminding the whole thing." Falzon indicated that he believed White, stating, "I felt like I had been hit by a sledge-hammer ... I found out it was a premeditated murder.

Willie Brown had been meeting with Moscone and left Moscone's office by another door when Moscone was notified that Dan White was there to see him.
