Comments from Just Mercy author and Equal Justice Initiative Founder Bryan Stevenson:

“We have a history of racial inequality that we really haven’t adequately acknowledged.”

~

“And then we codified our racial hierarchy through segregation. We passed the Civil Rights Act but we never dealt with this presumption.”

~

“Our failure to take seriously this problem is rooted in an unwillingness to acknowledge the damage done by slavery, lynching & segregation.”
