Michael Ross (Washington politician)
Michael K. Ross (July 14, 1941 – August 21, 2007)〔(Michael K. Ross-obituary )〕 was a civil rights activist, construction worker, and member of the Washington House of Representatives who served from 1970 to 1972. As of 2014 he is the last Republican to have been elected from Washington's 37th legislative district.
==Early life==
Ross was born in Iowa City, Iowa to Carl Ross and Violet Phinisse Scott, and was raised in Flint, Michigan and Los Angeles, California. From 1958 to 1960 he served in the United States Air Force. After briefly attending Washburn Community College in Topeka, Kansas, he relocated to Virginia to work for Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "Get Out the Vote" campaign. In 1967 he moved to Washington state out of a desire to escape the discrimination he had suffered elsewhere as a result of his brief marriage to a caucasian woman.
In Seattle, Ross became involved with the local chapter of the Congress of Racial Equality, and was eventually elected president of the chapter. In an interview with the ''Seattle Post-Intelligencer'' about black activism at the University of Washington, Ross criticized African-Americans “that have been homogenized by the university and who now serve as spokesmen and leaders for the black community because whites feel at ease with them.” Later, Ross would join in demonstrations demanding the University of Washington terminate athletic contacts with Brigham Young University.
