Briefings containing "Raul Yzaguirre Activist"
Rosa Parks—Activist
On 1 December 1955, Rosa Parks had just finished her shift as a department store seamstress, and she was pooped. When the bus came, she paid her fare and took a seat, and when the driver announced that blacks had to get up so whites could sit down, Rosa Parks said no. ... She wasn't the first to be tossed off the bus and arrested. Rosa Parks, though, was happily married, gainfully employed, attractive but serious, and a member of the NAACP -- a perfect combination to get the world's attention. 35,000 flyers were mimeographed overnight, and the next morning Montgomery's blacks began boycotting the bus company. Parks was quickly fired.

Clint Bolick—Activist
Clint Bolick, president and general counsel of the Alliance for School Choice, recently told me what it was like to be interviewed by John Stossel. An advocate for school choice, Bolick is no stranger to controversy. He is also no media amateur, so he was careful to prepare his messages before walking into his interview with Stossel.
