Brown Bag Books – Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson

The book selection for September is Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson.

“It is every bit as moving as To Kill a Mockingbird. . . demonstrating the extent to which brutality, unfairness, and racial bias continue to infect criminal law in the United States. But at the same time … (he) tells an utterly damning story of deep-seated and widespread injustice, he also recounts instances of human compassion, understanding, mercy, and justice that offer hope. . . . (It is) at once a searing indictment of American criminal justice and a stirring testament to the salvation that fighting for the vulnerable sometimes yields.” (NY Review of Books)
