Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson (2017)

Part memoir and part admonition for necessary reform to the U.S. criminal justice system, Bryan Stevenson’s Just Mercy is a call to arms. The book primarily follows the relationship between activist lawyer Stevenson, founder of the Equal Justice Initiative, and Walter McMillian, a black man falsely accused of murder and sentenced to death in the late 1980s.
