George Moscone
George Moscone was a prominent American politician who served as the 37th Mayor of San Francisco from 1976 until his assassination in 1978. A member of the Democratic Party, Moscone was known for his progressive policies and commitment to social justice, particularly in supporting the LGBTQ community. His tenure was marked by efforts to improve housing, employment, and civil rights for marginalized groups. Tragically, Moscone was shot and killed by a former city supervisor, along with his friend and ally Harvey Milk, in a politically motivated attack that shocked the nation and catalyzed movements for LGBTQ rights.
