ACLU of Georgia dinner honors local activists
Friday, May 13, 2005

The American Civil Liberties Union of Georgia hosts its annual Bill of Rights Dinner on May 21 to honor 10 local activists for their work in upholding the values of the first ten amendments to the Constitution. “At the ACLU, we feel we work hard all year, but the work we do is made possible by folks in the community working every day to protect civil rights and civil liberties,” said Debbie Seagraves, ACLU of Georgia executive director.

Retired Gen. Wesley Clark, a 2004 Democratic presidential candidate, delivers the dinner’s keynote address and is likely to speak on “accountability of the government to the people and how patriotic it is to speak out. First Amendment all the way,” Seagraves said.

This year the organization presents awards to Coretta Scott King, state Rep. Nan Orrock, gay civil rights activist Lynn Cothren, attorneys John E. Stephenson Jr. and Jeffrey Swart, Lambda Legal Defense & Education Fund attorney Jack Senterfitt, and Nikki Alexander, a volunteer marketing consultant for non-profit groups.
