Raul Humberto Yzaguirre (born July 22, 1939 in San Juan, Texas) is an American civil rights activist. Currently a life member of the Council on Foreign Relations, he previously served as the president and CEO of the National Council of La Raza from 1974 to 2004. On November 30, 2009, he was nominated by President Barack Obama to be United States Ambassador to the Dominican Republic and was confirmed by the Senate on September 29, 2010. He attended the George Washington University. ==Early life== Yzaguirre was born to Mexican American parents Ruben Antonio and Eva Linda (Morin) Yzaguirre and grew up in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. Yzaguirre states that some of his first memories of social injustice involved what his grandmother called a "race war" in Texas. Mexican Americans lived under a curfew at that time and Yzaguirre's grandfather was almost lynched one night when coming home after dark from his second job. In 1958, he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force Medical Service and served for four years. His name has sometimes been spelled Izaguirre.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Raul Yzaguirre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
