Bryan
Stevenson: "We need to talk about an injustice."
In an engaging and personal
talk -- with cameo appearances from his grandmother and
Rosa Parks -- human rights lawyer Bryan Stevenson shares
some hard truths about America's justice system, starting
with a massive imbalance along racial lines: a third of
the country's black male population has been incarcerated
at some point in their lives. These issues, which are wrapped
up in America's unexamined history, are rarely talked about
with this level of candor, insight and persuasiveness.
Bryan Stevenson is the
founder and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative,
fighting poverty and challenging racial discrimination in
the criminal justice system. |
