Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption by Bryan Stevenson

Book discussion: Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption by Bryan Stevenson

Thursday, February 15 at 7:00, UU Wellesley

Bryan Stevenson, the young African American lawyer who founded the Equal Justice Initiative, is one of the most compelling voices in today’s conversation about racial inequality in the United States. His bestselling memoir takes the reader to courthouses and prisons in Alabama, painting compassionate portraits of death row inmates and juveniles condemned to life sentences. His efforts to exonerate them, and his arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court, make for a page-turner. The evening includes a short speech, delivered by Stevenson at the Obama Foundation Summit in 2017.
