An Archive of Hope is an extremely important, timely, and significant book. It brings together in a singular volume a substantial body of Harvey Milk’s political discourse including speeches, editorials, political campaign materials, and public debate that are not readily available to the public. 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, San Francisco State University, Recipient of the Randy Majors Memorial Award for Outstanding Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Scholarship in Communication, National Communication Association"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. Equally amazing is that this self-made, store-front politician thought about more than his city or gay rights. His longer views on issues of national political life in this book form a philosophy as relevant today as they were decades ago. Clearly an essential addition to GLBT studies--every library needs this wonderful collection."—Felice Picano, author of Art and Sex in Greenwich Village and Like People in History
