She was the first woman of color and the first Asian-American woman elected to Congress, and is known for her work on legislation advancing women's rights and education. Mink was a third-generation Japanese American, having been born and raised on the island of Maui. After graduating as valedictorian of the Maui High School class in 1944, she attended the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa for two years and subsequently enrolled at the University of Nebraska, where she experienced racism and worked to have segregation policies eliminated. After illness forced her to return to Hawaii to complete her studies there, she applied to 12 medical schools to continue her education but was rejected by all of them. Following a suggestion by her employer, she opted to study law and was accepted at the University of Chicago Law School in 1948. While there, she met and married a graduate student in geology, John Francis Mink. When they graduated in 1951, Patsy Mink was unable to find employment and after the birth of their daughter in 1952, the couple moved to Hawaii.

Film7.1Belgesel“Fahrenheit 9/11” Akademi ödüllü film yapımcısı Michael Moore’un, özellikle Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nde fırtınalar koparan ve koparmaya devam edecek gibi görünen çarpıcı ve sarsıcı yeni filmi.“Bowling for Columbine” filmiyle aldığı harika eleştiriler ve kazandığı büyük popüler başarıdan sonra, Moore, kendine özgü mizah tarzı ve ısrarcı tutumu ile Bush hükümetinin dış politikası hakkında korkusuz bir araştırmaya girişti. Ender görüntüleri, uzmanların ifadelerini ve kendisine özgü zor sorulara verilen cevapları birleştirerek avını gerçekleştirdi. Film bu günlerde Amerika’nın karşı karşıya olduğu en ateşli konuları ele alıyor. Michael Moore, 9/11’deki Suudi Arabistan bağlantısını görmezden gelip, Irak’la savaşa balıklama dalan George W.Bush ve yakın çevresine kuşkucu bir yaklaşımla yöneliyor.
