Halli Stone watched the student protests and anti-war sentiment of the 1960s as a young girl growing up near Washington State University.
The changing times clashed with her conservative Mormon upbringing. Still, she marveled at the “dichotomy of political beliefs in our country.”
Stone has clung to her conservative roots through the years. The 5-foot, 1-inch grandmother of 15 is a longtime activist, opposing issues from abortion to the Equal Rights Amendment.
But another issue dominates her golden years: fighting increases to local property taxes. Today, Stone has been an unyielding voice in shutting out millions upon millions of dollars in local funding requests from the Bonneville School District, where she lives.

Lisa Jackson is proud of her African-American roots. Growing up in New York, with a father who was from Georgia, she ate black-eyed peas, and watched her parents entertain with a Southern hospitality that always seemed familiar. Their family wouldn’t dare enter a neighbor’s house without a gift and even though the family didn’t have a lot, if any guests stepped foot through the door, they were offered a meal.
“I didn’t know I wasn’t Southern,” said Jackson. “But, I wouldn’t understand the global reach of that until I was much older.”
