Bryan Stevenson has written a compelling memoir with Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption.
“This is an important work which should be read by any individual who is concerned with the concept of Justice and incidents of Injustice that merit compassion and mercy,” said a review in goodreads.com.
It said Just Mercy “is an unforgettable account of an idealistic, gifted young lawyer’s coming of age, a moving window into the lives of those he has defended, and an inspiring argument for compassion in the pursuit of true justice.”
Stevenson first began helping death row prisoners, mostly black, who had had no legal defense of any kind.
He discovered there were thousands who were completely innocent. This led him to start an organization called the Equal Justice Initiative
The review added: “While this book looks at the historical doggedness of injustice and specific court rulings, it also includes deeply personal accounts of those who have lived, and not lived through it.”
Stevenson grew up poor in Delaware, US.
