My students and I just finished reading Just Mercy by Mr. Stevenson, and I found the book to be so profound and sad to learn about the degree of systemic racism that exists in America. I have seen this young man for years on TV and never realized the work he has been doing. The documentary is a remarkable history lesson as well as an indictment on the racism that still exists today. I urge you to watch this documentary, and if you've ever thought about what you can do to help, I think supporting the Equal Justice Initiative might be one of them.
