Just Mercy

Description

A powerful story about a Black Man who became an attorney and used his education as well as his understanding of how so many legal professionals have built their careers on hunting innocent Black Men of The Community, Incarcerating them and ripping apart the Black Family and potential for legacy, to discover and prove their innocence!

Bryan Stevenson was a young attorney when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice dedicated to defending those most desperate and in need: the poor, the wrongly condemned, Black Men, Women and children trapped in the farthest reaches of our criminal justice system. One of his first cases was that of Walter McMillian, a young man who was sentenced to die for a notorious murder that he didn’t commit. The case drew Bryan into a tangle of lies, conspiracy, political machination, and legal brinksmanship—and transformed his understanding of mercy and justice forever.

Just Mercy is at once an unforgettable account of the legacy of an idealistic, Gifted Black Attorney who is providing real solutions to the inequities created and established by the racist legal practices aimed at destroying the Black Family and Community.
