Prominent civil rights attorney Ben Crump to represent family of ex-WMU football player Jamal Williams

Civil rights attorney Ben Crump has become ''the go-to attorney for racial justice'' in America, according to a headline in an article from The Washington Post.

Crump represents the families of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery, three prominent names who have become essential in the recent social justice movement that has sparked protests across the country.

Last Friday, Crump announced via his Twitter account he will be representing the family of former WMU football player Jamal Williams, who was fatally shot last Tuesday, June 16, at Community Hospital during an incident in Munster, Ind.
