Bryan Stevenson – Finding the Courage for What's Redemptive

<p>How to embrace what’s right and corrective, redemptive and restorative — and an insistence that each of us is more than the worst thing we’ve done — these are gifts Bryan Stevenson offers with his life. He’s brought the language of mercy and redemption into American culture in recent years, growing out of his work as a lawyer with the Equal Justice Initiative based in Montgomery, Alabama. Now the groundbreaking museum they created in Montgomery has dramatically expanded — a new way of engaging the full and ongoing legacy of slavery in U.S. history. Krista draws out his spirit — and his moral imagination.</p><p>Bryan Stevenson is the founder and executive director of the <a href="https://eji.org/">Equal Justice Initiative</a> in Montgomery, Alabama.
