Harvey Milk was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977 and shot to death a year later, along with Mayor George Moscone, by fellow supervisor Dan White. White was convicted of manslaughter, and served a little more than three years in prison before committing suicide.
The bronze sculpture will sit atop a stone base inscribed with a quote from one of his most famous speeches.
