We Lost A Great Leader Last Week
Former CDC President, Gerald N. Hill, died last Tuesday night in a San Rafael hospital following an acute stroke. He is survived by his wife of 42 years Kathleen and his four children, Erin, Mack, Megan and David.
Jerry lived the kind of life we all aspire to – one with true purpose. A life that made a positive difference in the lives of others.
Not only was he a distinguished attorney, author and educator, he was also a great leader. He was the first Democratic official, as CDC President, to speak out against the Vietnam War. That courageous action led to the anti-war movement that eventually ended the war. He also helped to draft Eugene McCarthy to run against Lyndon Johnson on an anti-war platform.
His personal convictions led him to march with Dr. King and Caesar Chavez in support of civil rights and farmworkers’ rights.
Throughout his legal practice, he served more than a third of his law clients pro bono, never charging those who genuinely couldn’t pay or in whose causes he strongly believed.
He hired Jerry Brown to work on Eugene McCarthy’s presidential campaign, and eventually co-chaired Brown’s first campaign for governor.
We need more leaders like Gerald Hill. The type of person who changes the conversation and forces us to do the right thing. That’s what his legacy will be – a person who understood what the right thing to do was and had the courage to stand up and say it.
He will be missed by everyone at CDC. Our sincere condolences go out to Kathleen and his children.
