Memorial plaque to civil rights activist Leonard Matlovich to be dedicated tomorrow.

A Georgia native who grew up in the military, he had the knack for taking your heart and making it catch for a moment, like the way he announced on national television that he had AIDS. He seemed to make people want to be braver than perhaps they were.” The public event will begin at noon, Saturday, November 15th, in the Spencer Andrew Ceremonial Room of San Francisco’s LGBT Community Center, 1800 Market Street at Octavia.”
