Harvey marched alongside Martin Luther King in Birmingham in 1963. Several years later, New Hampshire was the only state in the US not to have legislated a Martin Luther King holiday. Harvey, then an elected Representative from Nashua, addressed the 400 person New Hampshire House and dramatically described the race relations problems in his youth growing up in Birmingham in the 1930s and 1940s. Most say it was his speech before his fellow legislators that finally convinced New Hampshire to join the rest of the nation in establishing a Martin Luther King holiday.

Harvey received the Critical Thinking in Business award from NHToDo magazine. He served in the Army in Germany from 1954-56.
