True Justice: Bryan Stevenson’s Fight for Equality (July 14, ST George’s Episcopal Church – 3:30 p.m.) – This documentary profiles Alabama public interest attorney Bryan Stevenson, founder of the Equal Justice Initiative, who has struggled to create greater fairness in the criminal justice system. It’s a system, Stevenson says, that “treats you better if you’re rich and guilty than if you’re poor and innocent.” The documentary about Stevenson’s life and career is told through his own words and with interviews with associates, family members and clients. The documentary also will be available on HBO NOW, HBO GO and HBO On Demand. https://www.hbo.com/documentaries/true-justice-bryan-stevensons-fight-for-equality
Join us Sunday afternoon, July 14 for a conversation that will look at mass incarceration, racial injustice and the steps we can all take to turn away from the mistakes of the past and re-learn how to engage in civil discourse, respecting differing opinions, and being open to new ways of looking at our criminal justice system.
