PROGRAM

The January 4th, 2006 New York Times obituary described Frank Wilkinson's half century campaign against U.S. government spying on the American people. He taught us how to defeat the House UnAmerican Activities Committee, spent nine months in Federal Prison for his work and kept the FBI compiling 132,000 documents on him for 38 years. Frank was a true"First Amendment Felon!" He showed us we can win, and his legacy is his fighting spirit and his unfailing faith that when told the truth the American people will fight for their rights.

More than 50 people joined The Chicago Committee to Defend the Bill of Rights in a gathering of Frank's many midwest friends and colleagues to celebrate his deep commitment and relentless energy in the fight for civil liberties. Today the fight for the Bill of Rights is more important than ever and Frank's life is a a model for all of us who continue that fight.

The Chicago Committee to Defend the Bill Of Rights (CCDBR) has fought for 42 years against government encroachment on our constitutional rights in all its forms. CCDBR began as part of the struggle to disband the House Committee on UnAmerican Activities (HUAC), played a major role in the opposition to Chicago Police "Red Squad" spying in the seventies, and most recently, helped facilitate the passage of the Chicago City Council Resolution against The Patriot Act.

The Bill of Rights Foundation (BORF) is a 501(c)3, not-for-profit foundation that supports the struggle against all activities that threaten the freedoms guaranteed in our Bill of Rights.
