Justice on Trial Presented by The Chad Cooper Company on Broadway

Two civil rights attorneys, Michael Crump (inspired by national civil rights lawyer Benjamin Crump) and Elaine Black, are suing the U.S. Justice Department for reparations on behalf of the descendants of slaves. To help convince the mixed-race jury, it features “traveler expert witnesses” portraying black history icons Harriet Tubman, Medgar Evers and Emmett Till. The story is punctuated by references to modern-day race-tinged injustices encountered by Trayvon Martin, Sandra Bland, Michael Brown Jr.
