California has its moments and this is one of them.
The San Diego City Council has voted for a street name change. The city is renaming Blaine Avenue to Harvey Milk Street.
San Diego is the first city in the country to honor Milk with a street bearing his name. The cost of the signs for the name change has been paid for by private contributions, according to Councilmember Todd Gloria’s office. “It is an honor to vote today to solidify Milk’s position as a true advocate for under-represented people, and a privilege to have my colleagues stand united with me for this historic action,” Gloria said in a statement. Blaine Avenue will become Harvey Milk Street in time for Milk’s birthday on May 22.
