Movement for Harvey Milk stamp


Change.org is reporting that efforts are underway to create a stamp in honor of slain civil rights leader Harvey Milk.  The hope is that a famous image of Milk by painter Jim Leff will be on the postage stamp.  Facebook has launched a group called "Honor Harvey Milk with a US Postage Stamp" that has almost 14,000 members. The San Francisco Board of Supervisers  unanimously voted to urge the US Postal Service to commemorate Milk with a stamp in 2005.
