Bryan Stevenson

on equality, justice & compassion

One of today’s most influential social justice attorneys and author of the bestselling book Just Mercy, Bryan Stevenson has committed his career to fighting wrongful convictions, systemic poverty and mass incarceration. Here, he shares the lessons he’s learned along the path to becoming one of the most inspirational activists of our time, including how his slave ancestry shaped his childhood, how a poignant conversation with a death row inmate impacted his work and why he believes the worst thing that happens to a person shouldn’t define their life. An encouraging road map for aspiring activists and anyone who believes in second chances, Stevenson’s words are a powerful reminder that when good people follow their hearts, they can change the world.
