Longtime Houston activist Daniel Jay Schacht, known to his many friends in the movement and local community as Danny, passed away on December 22, 2022, at the age of 77. Danny Schacht had been my close friend since the mid-‘60s. The Supreme Court makes its own rules, They relaxed the rule setting deadlines for filing an appeal. He eventually won a Supreme Court case that ruled wearing military dress while protesting was a legitimate form of free speech. Well-read, full of opinions, and always interesting to talk with, Danny Schacht was my friend for over 50 years.
