Freedom is a Constant Struggle television show from Dec. 4, 2009 – The 40th anniversary of the assassination of Fred Hampton.
Our guest, Attorney Dennis Cunningham, established the People’s Law Office in Chicago from which he and young Attorney Haas conducted a landmark civil rights case ultimately winning a large settlement for the Panthers’ families – although Chicago’s killer cops were never criminally charged.
Dennis continued doing civil rights cases over these 40 years, during which he also worked on the long-running class action for the prisoners who rebelled and survived the massacre at New York’s Attica State Prison in 1971, and the Earth First case resulting from the 1990 bombing of Judi Bari and Darryl Cherney in Oakland, among many other defenses of protesters and victims of police misconduct, brutality and/or murder.
