My Civil Writes

Look ma, we on t.v.!

So the Civil Writer, Attorney Charles F. Coleman Jr. has been doing quite a bit of press lately. We have already covered the NAACP rally with Solange Knowles but the homie Lisa Evers has been amazing in helping provide exposure to one of the legal scene’s up and coming legal analysts.

“The Zimmerman trial and aftermath of it’s coverage has also given rise to new voices such as former Brooklyn prosecutor Charles F. Coleman, Jr. who just this week wrote a piece for Ebony magazine’s website entitled, “JUSTICE FOR TRAYVON: What Went Wrong?,” in which he dissected the not guilty verdict. “

I mean, they said it. Not me. Shout out On Being A Black Lawyer and PR Diva Aprill O. Turner for looking out. 

Here’s a quick summary of a few recent going ons.

7.14.13–Hot 97 Street Soldiers Program with Lisa Evers discussing the immediate aftermath of the Zimmerman Verdict. This was a great panel with Faith Jenkins, my man Julian Lewis from Howard #HUUUUUU , and a great community organizer in Al-Tariq.

Turns out, things went so well on Street Soldiers that Lisa Evers had us BACK on the show on 7.21.13. This was an AMAZING panel featuring legendary underground hip hop artist Pharoe Monche, famed writer and activist Kevin Powell, Civil Rights Attorney Charles F. Coleman Jr. and up and coming Rahim “Precise”. The broadcast discussed next steps in the wake of the Zimmerman trial and also had a call in from Styles P and Raheem DeVaughn.
