- A. Adar Ayira, Project Manager of the More in the Middle Initiative at Associated Black Charities and facilitator and analyst at Baltimore Racial Justice Action;
- Doug Colbert, University of Maryland Law School professor and co-chair of the Society of American Law Teachers’ (SALT) Access to Justice Curriculum Project;
- Michael Higginbotham, Wilson H. Elkins Professor of Law at the University of Baltimore, and author of the upcoming book, Ghosts of Jim Crow: Ending Racism in “Post-Racial” America.
