Morris III University of California Press 2013 Harvey Milk was one of the first openly and politically gay public officials in the United States, and his remarkable activism put him at the very heart of a pivotal civil rights movement reshaping America in the 1970s. An Archive of Hope is Milk in his own words, bringing together in one volume a substantial collection of his speeches, columns, editorials, political campaign materials, open letters, and press releases, culled from public archives and personal collections. The volume opens with a foreword from Milk's friend, political adviser, and speech writer Frank Robinson, who remembers the man who "started as a Goldwater Republican and ended his life as the last of the store front politicians" who aimed to "give 'em hope" in his speeches. Black, Morris, and Robinson are joined by Danny Nicoletta, who worked at Harvey's camera shop; and who has since been the photographer of record for queer history in San Francisco. Jason Edward Black is Associate Professor of Communication Studies and an affiliate professor in Gender and Race Studies at The University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. He co-edited Arguments about Animal Ethics. Charles E. Morris III is Professor in the Department of Communication and Rhetorical Studies at Syracuse University and editor of Remembering the AIDS Quilt, Queering Public Address and co-editor of Readings on the Rhetoric of Social Protest. *** "I was lucky enough to hear Harvey speak and through some unexpected alchemy every piece printed here sounds just like him, so you can hear him speak too…His longer views on issues of national political life in this book form a philosophy as relevant today as they were decades ago" —Felice Picano, author of Art and Sex in Greenwich Village and Like People in History "An Archive of Hope is an extremely important, timely, and significant book…Full of inspiration and hope, this book is highly relevant to anyone interested in activism, politics, and social change." —Gust A. Yep, Professor of Communication Studies, SFSU; Recipient of the Randy Majors Memorial Award for Outstanding Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Scholarship in Communication, National Communication Association When Wed May 22, 2013 7:30pm – 8:30pm Pacific Time Calendar Queer Things Who • larrybob@gmail.com - creator
