From the archives: Harvey Milk, the rebel with a cause

In 1977 Harvey Milk became the first openly-gay man elected to public office in the U.S., when he won a seat on San Francisco's Board of Supervisors. The following year, he and Mayor George Moscone were killed by a fellow official. In this November 30, 2008 "Sunday Morning" report by correspondent John Blackstone, Senator Diane Feinstein, who was on the city's Board of Supervisors in 1978, talked about the horror she witnessed the day of Milk and Muscone's murders. (Feinstein died on Sept. 28, 2023, at age 90.)
