Timeline

1865

Berkman's lawyers claimed that he was the only U.S. doctor to be charged for treating a fugitive since Dr. Samuel Mudd was charged and later convicted for his medical treatment of John Wilkes Booth in 1865 after the Abraham Lincoln assassination.

On the run, Berkman was involved in the gunpoint robbery of a Connecticut supermarket that netted more than $20,000.

1945

Alan Berkman (September 4, 1945 – June 5, 2009) was an American physician and activist in the Students for a Democratic Society and Weather Underground who went to prison for his involvement in a number of robberies staged by the organizations and their offshoots.

Released after eight years in prison for armed robbery and explosives possession, Berkman provided medical care to the homeless and founded Health GAP to help provide AIDS pharmaceuticals to some of the world's poorest nations.

Berkman was born in Brooklyn and moved with his family to Middletown, Orange County, New York.

He was an Eagle Scout who graduated as the salutatorian of his high school class.

1967

He earned his undergraduate degree at Cornell University, graduating as an honor student in 1967.

1971

Berkman received his medical training at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, which he completed in 1971.

His politics and practice of medicine often overlapped, including his treatment of prisoners after the September 1971 Attica riots.

1973

He and his wife evaded the cordon established by the United States Marshals Service during the Wounded Knee incident in 1973.

1980

During his years on the run in the 1980s, court papers alleged, he was involved with groups that had staged seven bombings of military and other government facilities, though charges related to the bombings were later dismissed.

He was charged as part of the Resistance Conspiracy and convicted for his participation in the supermarket robbery, the proceeds of which, prosecutors alleged, had been used to buy the dynamite.

Berkman served eight years of a 10-year sentence.

As a parolee after his release from prison, Berkman worked as a doctor at a South Bronx drug addiction clinic for other parolees.

1981

The Black Liberation Army and May 19th Communist Movement had organized the October 20, 1981, Brinks robbery in Nanuet, New York, in which $1.6 million was taken from a Brink's armored car.

An armored car guard was killed during the robbery.

In a shootout shortly after the heist, two police officers were killed.

A witness told a grand jury that Berkman had treated one of the holdup group's members for a gunshot wound.

Upon his return to New York, after performing research in South Africa in the late 1990s, Berkman became one of the founders of Health GAP, an organization dedicated to expanding affordable access to AIDS medications such as antiretroviral drugs in the poorest parts of the world.

Through such efforts as lobbying to allow foreign governments to impose compulsory licenses to allow local manufacture of medications without the imposition of U.S. trade tariffs, costs for a regimen of AIDS medications that had cost $15,000 annually in the late 1990s had been cut to $150 per year by the time of his death.
