Obituary: A fighter for social justice throughout her long life, Alice McGrath, of Ventura died Nov. 27 of a massive infection in Venturas Community Memorial Hospital at age 92, following months of failing health. Her daughter, Laura DAuri, was at her bedside, along with two friends, Norm Flam and Moses Mora. Born Alice Greenfield in Calgary, Canada in 1917, the daughter of Russian Jewish immigrants, her family moved to Los Angeles when she was five. At age 24, McGrath played a key role in one of Californias first civil rights cases, helping to overturn the wrongful murder convictions of 12 Mexican-American men who were tried en masse in 1940s Los Angeles amid a climate of racism and hostility that extended into the courtroom, said her friend Carlos Lozano. Freed in 1944 by an appeals court, the men kept in touch with her for decades afterwards; they had come to know her when she visited them in San Quentin until they were freed. McGrath considered the Sleepy Lagoon trial, as it was called, to be the defining event of her public life. If they lose, we all lose, said Alice Bloomfield, the character based on Alice in Luis Valdez celebrated play, oot Suit, which debuted at the Mark Taper Forum in 1978. The play was later made into a movie. Still performed today, it will be staged in Mexico City in 2010. McGrath worked in her early years in a candy factory, as an artists model, a production manager for a film, and as a sales rep for Grove Press. In later years she and her third husband, Bruce Tegner, formed Thor Publishing and produced a series of well-received martial arts books. Married three times, her first husband was real estate developer Max Schechter, and the second husband was the poet and college professor Thomas McGrath. Through her commitment to legal aid for the poor, McGrath came to know many in the judicial community. Associate Appeal Justice Steven Perren still remembers traveling with her on one of her many humanitarian aid trips to Nicaragua with medical supplies following a devastating earthquake. She was fearless in making sure that the poor get help and representation. Presiding Justice of the Calif. Court of Appeal Arthur Gilbert remembers many lunches at the Vagabond Café in Ventura alking about books-she was a voracious reader. She always called herself a cheerful pessimist. If anyone ever did, she fought the good fight. Steven Stone, retired Justice of the Court of Appeal, said he had the honor of introducing her at what was to be her last award ceremony, the Mexican American Bar Association in Oxnard, which bestowed its Warrior for Justice award on her only weeks ago. And she was a lifelong warrior for justice, the likes of which Ive never met. Throughout her last years, McGrath was passionate about her involvement with the for Constitutional Rights, based in New York City. McGrath didn fear death and often said about her life, Its been a great ride. Alice McGrath is survived by her daughter, Laura DAuri, of Culver City; son, Daniel Schechter, of Spokane Valley, Washington; and sister, Claire Jampol, of Los Angeles. The funeral will be private, and a commemorative gathering will follow in . In lieu of flowers donations may be sent to the Social Justice Fund for Ventura , through the Ventura Community Foundation (VCCF), 1317 Del Norte Rd., suite 150, Camarillo 93010. |
