Harvey Milk

"I ask for the movement to continue, for the movement to grow, because last week I got a phone call from Altoona, Pennsylvania, and my election gave somebody else, one more person, hope. And after all, that's what this is all about. It's not about personal gain, not about ego, not about power â€” it's about giving those young people out there in the Altoona, Pennsylvanias, hope. You gotta give them hope."
