McDermott Will & Emery

As UK #BlackHistoryMonth draws to a close, we take a moment to reflect on this year’s powerful theme: Reclaiming Narratives. We had the immense honor of hosting Professor Patrick Vernon OBE FrHistS at our London office, where he delivered an impactful and thought-provoking address. Patrick highlighted the profound contributions of Black Britons to our culture and history, emphasizing the vital importance of celebrating Black History Month. His captivating anecdotes from his work as a social commentator, campaigner, and cultural historian left our audience deeply inspired. We are committed to continuing this journey of understanding and celebrating Black history, and to being supportive allies throughout the year. #UKBlackHistoryMonth

This year’s American Bar Association #ProBono theme is “Making Justice a Reality in Our Communities” Our #probono team, alongside Lambda Legal and Merchant & Gould PC, stood up for a dedicated public servant whose job offer was rescinded by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department due to his HIV-positive status. This victory not only reinstated his right to serve, but also led to policy changes in Nashville ensuring that people with HIV can pursue careers as police officers and first responders without discrimination. Our client’s courage and resilience inspire us. He expressed profound gratitude for our team’s dedication and compassion, reminding us why we fight for equality every day.
