In 2019, our Senior Partner, John Murphey, wrote an essay in honor of Black History Month. That essay, “Before Rose Parks,” was very well received and was excerpted in a Daily Southtown column written by Ted Slowik. In the article, John discusses historical court cases that illustrate how extraordinarily courageous Ms. Parks’ Dec. 1, 1955 decision really was.
In recognition of Black History Month, we encourage our clients, colleagues and friends to take a moment to read this article and reflect on the importance of these cases.
