Sylvia Hart Wright is an American author and activist in the Pacific Northwest.
Activism edit
Nonviolent Activism edit
In the early 1960's, Hart lived in Berkeley, California, and was active in the anti-Vietnam War movement. In 1963, she participated in the March on Washington and witnessed Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. Hart later moved to New York and worked as a librarian while obtaining a master's degree in sociology. In the early 1990's, Hart travelled to Nicaragua and Kenya to learn about the conditions of those countries and their inhabitants. She later served as an international observer of the Zapatista uprising in Mexico.
WTO Protests edit
While living in Eugene, Oregon, Hart participated in the Seattle WTO protests. On November 30th, 1999, Hart was a member of one of the two teams that directly blocked the intersection of Sixth Avenue and Pike Street. An elder of the team, Hart was not in lockdown under a float and was able to observe the actions of her group in detail from roughly 4 AM when they met in a foggy park--long before the main action began--until later in the day. Hart also was able to attend and observe parts of the union rally.[1]
