Just Mercy
by Bryan Stevenson
I just finished this excellent, excellent book by Bryan Stevenson, the activist/lawyer behind the new lynching memorial in Alabama.
This book could be said to be about lynching-by-another-name. It’s about the brutality and inequality of the American legal system. It centers on Stevenson’s career providing free legal services to prisoners on death row and to children sentenced to life without possibility of parole.
This was a difficult book to read, but it’s also surprisingly hopeful. Every American should read it. Stevenson is a powerful voice for the true meaning of mercy.
