Walter B. Hoye II is both President and Founder of the California Civil Rights Foundation. God used the premature birth (six months, 2.1 pounds) of his son to teach him that the fetus is a person, a living, breathing human being. As a young man Walter played football at Michigan State University where he graduated with a master's degree in sociology in 1980. In 1983 he graduated from the United States International University, now Alliant International University, with a master's degree in business administration.
Graciously the Family Research Council (FRC) recognized Walter Hoye with the 2009 John Wise Award. As you may remember, Walter was unjustly jailed for his peaceful defense of the pre-born on a sidewalk outside an abortion clinic in Oakland, California. He served as an incredible leader for the cause of the pre-born despite the personal costs. Walter annually competes in the San Francisco Marathon and catches an NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB game whenever he can.
As author of the book, Leadership from the INSIDE Out, Walter is in demand as a speaker and consultant. To read Walter's book online click here.

"Walter embodies the Martin Luther King, Jr. legacy, standing up for the least of these, the vunerable mothers and their babies." — Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (Tuesday, March 31st, 2009). Walter has been featured on Dr. D. James Kennedy's Coral Ridge Hour that is carried nationwide and overseas on Middle East Television, Trinity Broadcasting Network, Armed Forces Network and "Facing Life Head-On TV" hosted by Brad Mattes.
