Just Mercy author Bryan Stevenson was called by Desmond Tutu “America’s Nelson Mandela.” Stevenson was featured as one of the “Time 100 Most Influential People” of 2015 in a special edition of that magazine; a feature on him as “Pursuer of Justice” was written by tennis legend Serena Williams.
Harvard-educated Stevenson is a professor at New York University School of Law, and founded and is executive director of the non-profit Equal Justice Initiative in Montgomery, Alabama.
Among his numerous awards are the MacArthur Fellowship (1995), the NAACP Imagine Award for Outstanding Literary Work/Nonfiction, and the Lannan Cultural Freedom Award (2014).
And, please SAVE THE DATE: DEC. 1, 2015 – Bryan Stevenson will be in Pullman and deliver the annual Common Reading Invited Lecture that evening in Beasley Coliseum.
