David Mixner : ウィキペディア英語版 | David Mixner David Mixner (born August 16, 1946) is a civil rights activist and best-selling author. He is best known for his work in anti-war and gay rights advocacy. == Childhood== David Benjamin Mixner was born on August 16, 1946, and grew up in the small town of Elmer in southern New Jersey.〔Mixner, David. ("Turkey Hollow Almanac: My Birthday" ), DavidMixner.com, August 17, 2008. Accessed April 28, 2015. "Growing up in Elmer, New Jersey, birthdays were never a big deal."〕 His father Ben worked on a corporate farm, and his mother Mary worked shifts at a local glass factory and later took a job as a bookkeeper for the local John Deere dealership. David has two older siblings, Patsy Mixner Annison and Melvin Mixner. Mixner attended Daretown Elementary School, then Woodstown High School, where he got involved in the Civil Rights movement, by participating in picketing and sending his own money to Martin Luther King, Jr. In his bestselling memoir, ''Stranger Among Friends'', Mixner explains that his parents were “livid” over his involvement in the Civil Rights movement, claiming his activism embarrassed them. When Mixner told them he wanted to go south during the summer of 1963 after following the events in Birmingham, Alabama, his parents forbade him.〔Mixner, D. (1996) ''Stranger Among Friends''. New York: Bantam Books.〕
