About the speakers:
William "Billy" Murphy has long been an active advocate of civil rights–related cases, first gaining attention as a criminal defense lawyer by drawing attention to the history of injustice toward African-Americans. He served as a judge for Baltimore's Circuit Court and later founded Murphy, Falcon & Murphy, Most recently, he represented the family of Freddie Gray, who suffered a fatal spinal cord injury while in police custody.
Christina Bostick founded Bostick Law Office to minimize the mistreatment felt by working-class individuals in lawsuits served unjustly by large law firms. She is currently providing legal counsel for the family of Henrietta Lacks, whose cells were used for research studies without her consent.
