Just Mercy

As a law student, Bryan Stevenson was sent to a maximum security
prison to meet a man on death row. The man told Stevenson he'd
never met an African-American lawyer, and the two of them talked
for hours. It was a day that changed Stevenson's life. He's spent
the last 30 years working to get people off of death row, but has
also spent the final hours with men he could not save from
execution. He argues that each of us is deserving of mercy. Learn
