Activism

Michael Schwartz became a member of the Sons of Thunder (a name chosen in reference to the Gospel of Mark 3:14-19)^[3] at the University of Dallas in 1969. He traveled to DC from Texas with other members of the Sons of Thunder at the first Pro-Life March in Washington, DC on June 6, 1970. This activism was not initiated by Nellie Gray but by the brother-in-law of William F. Buckley and the founding editor of Triumph (magazine), a convert to the Roman Catholic faith, L. Brent Bozell, Jr., who launched the magazine as the "Catholic version" of his brother-in-law's Conservative political publication the National Review.

When the US Catholic Bishops on April 22, 1970 officially^[5] avoided active leadership in dealing with the incremental legalization of abortion in CA, NY and DC and what many still consider the mass murder and genocide^[6] of American citizens by abortion on demand in the USA, and these bishops repeated, instead, the 1959 UN Declaration of the Rights of the Child: "The U.S. Bill of Rights guarantees the right to life to every American, and the U.N. Declaration on the Rights of the Child, which our nation endorses, affirms that the child, because of his dependent status, should be accorded a special protection under the law before as well as after birth (U.N. General Assembly, November 20, 1959)" L. Brent Bozell, Jr. announced that, as the Second Vatican Council or Vatican II had recommended, it was time for some of the laity to initiate serious Catholic Action, so Bozell scheduled his Catholic Action for June 6, 1970. Students, like Michael's group from Dallas, Triumph (magazine) staff and contributing writers, together with families and subscribers from the Washington Metro area, New England and various other States came to Washington, DC and met at St Stephen Catholic Church on Pennsylvania Avenue for Mass (liturgy), then gathered on George Washington Circle for a rally afterwards. Photos of the event included L. Brent Bozell, Jr., Chris and Ann Bozell, Michael Schwartz and others at this Lay Catholic Action in front page headline and other news articles on June 6 and 7, 1970 in the Evening edition of The Washington Star and the Sunday edition of The Washington Post.

Biography

Michael Schwartz grew up in Philadelphia, poor and in family chaos: "My father was a drunken, adulterous wife beater. I remember my father beat the crap out of my mother frequently. He wanted me to meet his girlfriends. I started driving when I was seven. I took him to their homes. He became for me the permanent image of what I did not want to be. " This was the seedbed for what became a man of deep and abiding Faith: "I think I got all the breaks. I've had a very blessed life." His life's trajectory was likely set when one of his young friends gave him a copy of National Review. Until then, he didn't know he was a conservative. This led to Mike's becoming a charter subscriber to Triumph (magazine). 

In 2011, Michael Schwartz was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's Disease. He died in the company of his wife, children and grandchildren on February 3, 2013.
