"MILK" in my Coffee

Today has been set aside to honor the memory of one of America's beloved leaders, Dr. Martin Luther King. A man that became a beacon of hope and humanity for all people of this great nation. In light of his courage and sacrifice, we honor him every year by preserving his memory and legacy.






This weekend I had the chance to see an awesome biopic on the life of Harvey Milk. The movie was brilliantly led by (in my opinion) of the greatest actors of all time, Sean Penn. The movie is based on the rise of the gay movement's own "Dr. King", Harvey Milk. He became the first openly gay man to be elected to public office. I became familiar with the story through an informative VH1 (yes VH1 can be educational) documentary "Sex: The Revoluton" and I was instantly amazed by his perserverance. He fought to uphold the human rights of gay people and fought for their dignity. For that he is an American hero.
