Yorty, Sam, 1909-1998

Biography:

"American politician who gained national fame as mayor of Los Angeles from 1961 to 1973, a time of economic growth and civic improvement but also one of inner-city unrest that in 1965 erupted in riots in the Watts section; at first a liberal Democrat, he became increasingly conservative during his years in office and was especially controversial for his outspoken racial views (b. Oct. 1, 1909, Lincoln, Neb.--d. June 5, 1998, Los Angeles, Calif.)."-- "Yorty, Samuel William." Britannica Book of the Year, 1999. 2008. Encyclopaedia Britannica Online. 13 Feb. 2008 .
