PMMM President,  Michael Coard

     Although Michael Coard, Esquire is a Philadelphia attorney with extensive trial experience, a relentless community activist, and an Afrocentric radio show host, he prefers to be described simply as “an angry Black man” forced to struggle with the racist residue of slavery in America.

     Mr. Coard, born and raised in North Philadelphia, is a graduate of Cheyney University and also is a graduate of Ohio State University College of Law, where, as president of the Black Law Students Association, he led the victorious fight to compel the university to divest its funds from companies doing business with the apartheid government in South Africa.

     After law school, Mr. Coard continued fighting for the rights of African Americans in his capacity as an attorney, activist, and radio show host.  As an attorney, he made history by successfully litigating his Private Criminal Complaint that- for the first time in Pennsylvania history- resulted in a murder charge against a white police officer in the shooting death of an unarmed Black teenager named Donta Dawson.  As an activist, he is a founding member of Avenging The Ancestors Coalition (ATAC) that, through unyielding protests, persuaded the federal government to finally agree to have a historic memorial built to honor the enslaved African descendants held in bondage by George Washington at America’s first “White House,” which was located in Philadelphia at the current site of the new Liberty Bell Center.  And as a radio show host of The Radio Courtroom on WHAT1340-AM, he provides the Black community with essential legal information that he calls “cultural ammunition.”

    In addition, he founded Judging The Judges, is a member of the NAACP, ACLU, Pennsylvania Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and the National Coalition Of Blacks for Reparations in America.  Furthermore, he is president of the Philadelphia Millions More Movement, which soon will be one of the most effective coalitions for Blacks in Philadelphia history.
