Michael Pratt, an accomplished litigator at GT and a leader in Philadelphia’s legal and civic communities. This two-part “Courageous Conversations” episode is part of a highlight of Michael’s ALM Op-Ed, “A Black Father’s Letter to His Black Son: ‘My Mission is to Keep You Safe’” that captured the inescapable duality of celebrating his son’s college graduation marked by the pain and sadness of grieving the death of George Floyd and so many others. Michael and Nikki discuss Michael’s life experiences and explore his point of view. Michael shares stories about segments of his life and how they’ve shaped him as a Black attorney and father.
