Review of 'The mayor of Castro Street' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
I picked this up because it fits into my interest in politics as well as my interest in SF history. I expected it to be primarily about Harvey Milk, but it really doubles as a history of the city during the seventies, and touches on modern-seeming topics including gentrification, rent control, activism v. power, etc. Well worth a read even if you're not particularly interested in gay rights or Milk himself (though you'll find that part interesting as well).
