Gray Panthers and the greater activist community mourns the loss of a dear activist and friend, Ethel Schwartz. She passed away on May 8, 2012
As prominent leader in our Metro Detroit network, Ethel played a vital role both locally and to the entire national organization. For decades, she was dedicated to labor and civil rights movements. Recently honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Gray Panthers of Metro Detroit for their 34th Anniversary celebration, Ethel epitomized what it meant to be true Gray Panther who committed her life to fighting for justice and peace. Her activism, spirit and fight has contributed to our organization for many years and she will be deeply missed.
