| mlane is right. She was the primary author and it bears her name. Her motivation was discrimination she faced in education. She was a pretty amazing lady. She managed to get elected student body president despite the fact that no woman had ever been elected to that position before and she was of Japanese descent when we were in the middle of fighting the war with Japan. In college, the she fought to end segregation n housing at the University of Hawaii. When none of the med schools she applied to would accept woman, she went to law school instead. The law was passed by congress and signed into law by President Nixon in June of 1972.

| Thanks so much!  I really appreciate all your help. That's all I wanted to know. I wasn't finding it at first while googling.  I didn't know it was one woman who was behind it all. She felt discriminated against for being a woman of Japanese descent at the university. Very interesting. Japanese still felt very discriminated against during this time in Hawaii (the war, containment camps, etc). |

I'm not writing anything. LOL. Just needed a little help and verification. Most of what's online are case studies. I'm not finding much info about its history. Wikipedia is ok (didn't check that LOL, though, it often gives basic info). On some sites, it wasn't that clear to me that Patsy Mink was the initiator. I thought it had to do with a black athlete in professional sports. I was way off... Last edited by Iceman313; 10-21-2009 at 07:57 PM. |
