Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Madeline Wheeler Murphy (October 24, 1922 July 8, 2007) was a well known African-American community activist, civil rights champion, advocate for the poor, and panelist on the Baltimore television show Square Off. Madeline W. Murphy, the second of three children of the late Arthur E. Wheeler, Sr., and the late Madeline (née Hall) Brooks, was born in Boston and raised in Wilmington, Delaware. She was educated in the Wilmington public schools and she graduated from Howard High School where she was valedictorian. She attended Temple University in Philadelphia for two years where she met her husband-to-be, the late Judge William H. Murphy Sr. at a dance at a nearby university. The couple were married from 1942 until Judge Murphy's death in 2003. They lived in Delaware and Chicago briefly, before moving to the Baltimore area in 1945. After a year at Turner's Station they moved to Cherry Hill, an all-Black lower-income neighborhood in the south section of Baltimore.
