And the longtime civil rights and AIDS activist Dr. Alan Berkman has died. Berkman was a founder of Health GAP, which campaigns to eliminate barriers to global access to affordable life-sustaining medicines for people living with HIV/AIDS. During the 1970s, Berkman provided medical care to Native American activists at Wounded Knee, as well as to inmates injured during the Attica prison uprising. In the 1980s, Dr. Berkman was sentenced to eight years in jail for treating activists tied to the Black Liberation Army and Weather Underground following a shootout with police in Nyack, New York.
