Charles Garry
Charles R. Garry (March 17, 1909 – August 16, 1991) was an American civil rights attorney who represented a number of high-profile clients in political cases during the 1960s and 1970s, including representing the Peoples Temple in Jonestown during the 1978 tragedy that occurred at that location.
==Early life==
Born in Bridgewater, Massachusetts to Armenian immigrant parents who had escaped the Armenian Genocide,〔 Garry grew up in a farm town in California's Central Valley.〔Reiterman, Tim, and John Jacobs. ''Raven: The Untold Story of Rev. Jim Jones and His People''. Dutton, 1982. ISBN 0-525-24136-1. p. 373.〕 He worked his way through law school at night at a cleaning shop and was a Depression-era socialist who began his legal career defending militant trade unions.〔〔Waggoner, Diana, (''Attorney Charles Garry Is Still a Believer—If Not in Jim Jones, Then in His "Utopia"'' ), People Magazine, Vol. 10, No. 24, December 11, 1978〕 Like many in his generation, Garry earned his law degree without attending college, and suffered difficulty with spelling and syntax.〔 An avowed Marxist lawyer, Garry earned a reputation of fighting for underdogs.〔 He insisted on a full truthful disclosure from those he represented, and had a sign on his desk that read "the only clients of mine who go to San Quentin are the ones who lie to me."〔
In 1948, Garry was brought before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC).〔 Garry declared that he was both a Christian and a Communist and, in response to queries regarding the denial of God by Communists, Garry responded by saying, "Mr. Chairman, what the Communists do for their God is their own business. What I do for my God is my own, and none of yours!"〔Turpin, Andy, (''Fade to Black Lion: The Peoples Advocate: the Life and Times of Charles R. Garry'' ), Armenian Weekly, Volume 73, No. 33, August 18, 2007〕 In the 1950s, Garry represented other alleged Communists before the HUAC and refused to answer questions himself stating, "I told them to kiss my ass."〔
