The first 2016 Cause-Minded Conversation series was barely announced before the registration line was jammed. The series is the result of Communities Foundation of Texas partnering up with the Rainwater Charitable Foundation.
Bryan Stevenson*
Now, word arrives that the Thursday, February 18th “conversation featuring New York Times best-selling author Bryan Stevenson is filled to the max. But don’t make a frowny face. Luckily, Amelia Barber is taking names for the wait list.
No wonder. His book “Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption” focuses on “both challenges in the American criminal justice system and his defense of some of the country’s most marginalized people.”
And Bryan is an authority thanks to his education (Harvard Law School and Harvard School of Government) and his founding the Equal Justice Initiative. All of that has earned awards galore and 16 honorary doctorate degrees.
But whether you were lucky enough to get a seat or not, you can still check out Bryan’s book.
