Books and Bites Adult Book Club – Just Mercy

November 16, 2024 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson
Join the club for snacks and lively discussion about books! Bryan Stevenson was a young lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice dedicated to defending those most desperate and in need: the poor, the wrongly condemned, and women and children trapped in the farthest reaches of our criminal justice system. One of his first cases was that of Walter McMillian, a young man who was sentenced to die for a notorious murder he insisted he didn’t commit. The case drew Bryan into a tangle of conspiracy, political machination, and legal brinksmanship—and transformed his understanding of mercy and justice forever. Copies are available at the front desk, or from Libby and Cloud Library.
