and thousands of people worldwide are already descending on San Francisco's Castro District. One of the mandatory stops is Harvey Milk Plaza, home of the Rainbow Flag. The community has envisioned a more desirable plaza honoring the legacy of the late civil rights leader.
"Twenty-four years yeah, not continuously trying but it's like a series of efforts but this effort that started in 2016 is certainly moved the farthest along," said Brian Springfield of Friends of Harvey Milk Plaza, a group behind the most recent attempt to redesign the plaza.The corner of Market and Castro streets in San Francisco is where Harvey Milk first rallied support for the gay community and human rights.
"This was Harvey Milk's neighborhood. Harvey Milk was part of creating what we know as the Castro today, which is known all across the world and when visitors come here it's a little bit underwhelming to come to Harvey Milk Plaza and see this," expressed Jones. "Such an iconic symbol globally and we just want to preserve that part of our history," added Amendola.
Not everyone is on board. There's a small group that wants to make minor changes without demolishing the current plaza.
