Luther
Cornelius WALLACE,
III - Agoura Hills, California August 8,
1941 to November 10, 2005 Luther Cornelius Wallace III, 64,
passed away after a short but valiant fight against cancer.
In 1974 he received a psychology degree from Cal State
Northridge and in 2005 an MBA from University of Phoenix. A
member of the US Army, in 1967 he served a tour of duty in
Viet Nam. On his return he became an active anti-war,
anti-racism and human rights activist. Over the years he
founded or was involved with many local, state and national
human rights groups. His greatest dream and goal was
achieved shortly before his death with the completion and
publication of a book of short stories written by him,
titled, "Our Color Our Kind: A Male Bedside Reader." At the
time of his death he was at work on an original screenplay
and new short stories. His special interests were people,
music, reading, learning new things, all sports and working
with his family in his herb and vegetable garden. Visitation
