PBS News Hour

Composer reimagines Harvey Milk opera while rebuilding life

Season 2025 Episode 218 | 7m 46s

Harvey Milk’s name returned to headlines after the defense secretary ordered the name of the slain gay rights advocate, who served in the Navy, removed from a naval ship. But Milk’s legacy lives on in other ways, including in an opera that carries a powerful story of its own. Jeffrey Brown reports for our look at the intersection of art and health, part of our arts and culture series, CANVAS.
