Eye opening, heart breaking, and a must read

"Our brokenness is also the source of our common humanity, the basis for our shared search for comfort, meaning, and healing."

This book is about how instead of helping the very people who would benefit from mercy, understanding, or rehabilitation, the judicial system in the USA discards and hides them from society, essentially breaking them or further breaking them. The book tells us about the author's fight to bring changes to the laws to prevent the justice system from death row/ incarcerating children and people with disabilities.

The whole book was amazing. But chapter 15 will stay with me forever. In this chapter the author has talked about brokenness and how we are all broken to an extent. If we acknowledge our brokenness, we could question our deficits, our biases and our fears. Maybe then we can open up to other people's humanity.

Just Mercy. We are more than the worst thing we had ever done. Based on true stories, Bryan Stevenson talks about the injustice many African Americans face when accused or prosecuted of a crime.

A must read! The way the stories are told makes you want to keep reading to know what happened.

In the world we live in today, police brutality and the injustice of the criminal justice system, Just Mercy provides a few examples of how cruel America is to one particular group of people.

Remember. All lives don’t matter UNTIL Black Lives Matter.
