Alan Berg, American lawyer and radio host (d. 1984)
Alan Harrison Berg (January 1, 1934 – June 18, 1984) was an American talk radio show host in Denver, Colorado. He had outspoken atheistic and liberal views and a confrontational interview style. Berg was murdered by members of the white supremacist group The Order who believed in killing all Jews and sending all black people to Africa. Those involved in the killing were part of a group planning to kill prominent Jews such as Berg. Two of them, David Lane and neo-Nazi Bruce Pierce, were convicted on charges of civil rights violations, although neither was charged with murder. They were sentenced to 190 years and 252 years in prison, respectively.
