America has the largest prison population in the world – and the criminal justice system that puts the men, women, and children in these prisons is broken. Excessive punishment and abuse are widespread, and the collateral consequences are devastating lives and communities. An inspiring and unflinchingly honest speaker, Bryan Stevenson will talk about defending some of America’s most rejected and marginalized people. The stories he tells are heartbreaking, yet inspiring, and motivate audiences to make a change.
American Mercy, Humanity and Making a Difference
INJUSTI E Bryan Stevenson, J.D.Sunday, October 4, 2015 at 2:00 PM Iowa Memorial Union Main Lounge at the University of Iowa
Bryan Stevenson will appear as part of the Iowa City Book Festival, in conjunction with the University of Iowa Center for Human Rights, One Community One Book project, and the Geneva Lec-ture Series sponsored by Geneva Campus Ministry.
As an attorney, Stevenson has won relief for dozens of condemned prisoners, argued six times before the Supreme Court, and won national acclaim for his work challenging bias against the poor and people of color. Stevenson’s work fighting poverty and challenging racial discrimination in the criminal justice system has won him numerous awards, including the MacArthur Foundation “Genius” Grant.
His book, Just Mercy, is the fall 2015 One Community One Book selection, and his appearance will cap a schedule of several events throughout the fall. The book was named by Time magazine as one of the 10 best books of nonfiction for 2014 and has been awarded several honors including a 2015 NAACP Image Award.

But the choices to go east or west, to kill or suffer, to love as you are or change fundamentally, all bring these characters to a crossroads
