You’re never truly gone, until your name is gone from the Internet.  Call it a sign of our modern times that even after death, the names of prominent people still appear online.

As Shakespeare once wrote in his play about Julius Caesar, “The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interrèd with their bones.”

Shakespeare was alluding to how people’s misdeeds are remembered long after death, while the good deeds are often forgotten.  Such has NOT been the case with Marc Angelucci.   A plethora of his good deeds done in life still remain in the comments and reflections of those who knew him in life.

Marc has been gone for more than six years now and in that time the pain of his passing has been too great to do a search on his name.  But a few days ago, in the quiet hours of the night as I sat alone at my computer, I finally got up the nerve.

I found one very long and detailed accounting of his accomplishments, but noticed some things missing like his involvement in using the Unruh Act to discourage discrimination against men and boys.  https://grokipedia.com/page/Marc_Angelucci

Yes, those activities were one of the more controversial areas of involvement, but then any standing up for the rights of men and boys is, and has been, controversial.  One Unruh Act case in which Angelucci was a litigant made it all the way to the California Supreme Court and he won!  The Unruh Act allows parties who’ve been aggrieved by disparities in pricing of goods and services based on gender, etc., to seek remedy and Angelucci did.  One of the hurdles encountered by men seeking remedy was a lower court ruling that, “men must ask for the same pricing as what’s given to females in an aggrieving situation.”  Hey, would you charge me the same as your charging her, which as an example, “Men $10, Women free.”

The CA Supreme Court struck down that inane requirement, which clearly demonstrates the long insidiousness nature of discrimination against men and boys in California.  I must note that I clearly noticed Angelucci being very proud about being a litigant who pursued that outcome.

And yes, hell yes, that kind of prejudiced discriminatory behavior against men is the seed of much of the cancerous discrimination effecting men and boys in society today.

On another note, I recall Angelucci participating in street demonstrations and indeed he taught me much of what I came to know about advocating for equal rights for men and boys in street protests.

Being a photographer has been one of the hats I’ve worn in NCFM, but alas, as I recall a photo of about 20 people holding up big 20″ X 40″ protest signs in front of the courthouse on 111 Hill Street in downtown L.A., I can’t find it.  Here’s a ten minute video instead, where NCFM joined up with F4J (Fathers for Justice) for their “Fatherless Day” protest at the 111 Hill St. Courthouse, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91eY5m5KDn0

Angelucci was a main driving force and inspiration in NCFM and still is, and as long as he is remembered online and beyond, good folks will continue to stand up for the rights of men and boys.  Those rights are still undermined in institutions all across society and in need of care – much care.  Angelucci is gone, but his legend remains and grows!
