Jesse Unruh, author of the Unruh Civil Rights Act, father of the full-time California Legislature, and one of the creators of modern-day California, was a charismatic, larger-than-life political figure who got things done. He was a member of the California Assembly for 14 years, its speaker for 8 years and state treasurer for more than a decade. He grew up extremely poor, the son of a Texas sharecropper. He made his way to California, joined the navy and, because of the GI Bill, went to USC, where he first entered Democratic politics. He was a friend and champion of Robert Kennedy and was in the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel when RFK was shot. He died in 1987, and while lionized in his time, has been largely forgotten today.
