Robert LeRoy Parker
(April 13, 1866 – November 7, 1908),

better known as Butch Cassidy, was an American train and bank robber and the leader of a gang of
criminal outlaws known as the "Wild Bunch" in the Old West. Parker engaged in criminal activity for
more than a decade at the end of the 19th century and the early 20th century, but the pressures of
being pursued by law enforcement, notably the Pinkerton detective agency, forced him to flee the
country. He fled with his accomplice Harry Longabaugh, known as the "Sundance Kid", and Longabaugh's
girlfriend Etta Place. The trio traveled first to Argentina and then to Bolivia, where Parker and
Longabaugh are believed to have been killed in a shootout with the Bolivian Army in November 1908;
the exact circumstances of their fate continue to be disputed.








Madalyn Murray O'Hair
(April 13, 1919 – September 29, 1995)

was an American activist supporting atheism and separation of church and state. In 1963 she
founded American Atheists and served as its president until 1986, after which her son Jon Garth Murray
succeeded her. She created the first issues of American Atheist Magazine and identified as a "militant feminist".
O'Hair is best known for the Murray v. Curlett lawsuit, which challenged the policy of mandatory
prayers and Bible reading in Baltimore public schools, in which she named her first son William J. Murray
as plaintiff. Consolidated with Abington School District v. Schempp (1963), it was heard by the
United States Supreme Court, which ruled that officially sanctioned mandatory Bible-reading in
American public schools was unconstitutional. The Supreme Court had prohibited officially sponsored
prayer in schools in Engel v. Vitale (1962) on similar grounds. After she founded the American Atheists
and won Murray v. Curlett, she achieved attention to the extent that in 1964 Life magazine referred to
her as "the most hated woman in America". Through American Atheists, O'Hair filed numerous other
suits on issues of separation of church and state.
