Books on the Bricks: Just Mercy Discussion

Books on the Bricks is The Book Center's book group that meets monthly. It is a free group, with no registration or requirement to attend monthly. You can learn more about the group and upcoming book discussions on their website. 

In April they will be discussing Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption by Bryan Stevenson. We encourage those who can not make our Just Mercy discussions or anyone looking for further conversations around the book to attend. 

More about Just Mercy:

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.

Just Mercy is at once an unforgettable account of an idealistic, gifted young lawyer’s coming of age, a moving window into the lives of those he has defended, and an inspiring argument for compassion in the pursuit of true justice.
