Pride: The Story of Harvey Milk and the Rainbow Flag

Rob Sanders

This account traces the history and meaning of the rainbow-striped LGBTQ Pride flag. It begins with Harvey Milk’s efforts toward equality for gay people through speeches, political campaigns, and protests against discriminatory laws. Seeking a symbol for the community, he asked artist Gilbert Baker to help create a rainbow flag. After Milk was assassinated, the narrative follows the continuing use of the flag and the LGBTQ+ community’s ongoing hope, pride, and activism. Illustrations show the rainbow flag in settings including the White House.
