The White Night riots Dan White for the assassinations of George Moscone , the mayor of San Francisco , and of Harvey Milk , a member of the city's Board of Supervisors who was one of the first openly gay elected officials in the United States . The events took place on the night of May 21, 1979, in San Francisco . Earlier that day White had been convicted of voluntary manslaughter , the lightest possible conviction for his actions. The lesser conviction outraged the city's gay community, setting off the most violent reaction by gay Americans since the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York City .
The gay community of San Francisco had a longstanding conflict with the San Francisco Police Department . White's status as a former police officer intensified the community's anger at the SFPD. Initial demonstrations took place as a peaceful march through the Castro district of San Francisco. After the crowd arrived at the San Francisco City Hall , violence began. The events caused hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of property damage to City Hall and the surrounding area, as well as injuries to police officers and rioters. (Full article...
Romaine Brooks Beatrice Romaine Goddard ; May 1, 1874 – December 7, 1970) was an American painter who worked mostly in Paris and Capri . She specialized in portraiture and used a subdued tonal palette keyed to the color gray. Brooks ignored contemporary artistic trends such as Cubism and Fauvism , drawing on her own original aesthetic inspired by the works of Charles Conder , Walter Sickert , and James McNeill Whistler . Her subjects ranged from anonymous models to titled aristocrats. She is best known for her images of women in androgynous or masculine dress, including her self-portrait of 1923, which is her most widely reproduced work.
Although her family was wealthy, Brooks had an unhappy childhood after her alcoholic father abandoned the family; her mother was emotionally abusive and her brother mentally ill. By her own account, her childhood cast a shadow over her whole life. She spent several years in Italy and France as a poor art student, then inherited a fortune upon her mother's death in 1902. Wealth gave her the freedom to choose her own subjects. She often painted people close to her, such as the Italian writer and politician Gabriele D'Annunzio , the Russian dancer Ida Rubinstein , and her partner of more than 50 years, the writer Natalie Barney .
