- Attorney Bryan Stevenson, author of the bestseller "Just Mercy," has helped to save 145 wrongly-convicted prisoners from execution, but these days the man behind Montgomery, Alabama's National Memorial for Peace and Justice might be better known his other job: educating Americans about the legacy of slavery and racial violence in this country. Stevenson talks with correspondent David Pogue about confronting history as a first step in healing, and gives a tour of the brand new Legacy Museum in Montgomery.

His book, Just Mercy, was a life-changing moment for me, just as the TV broadcast of Roots was when I was twelve. We have to seek these stories out, we have to listen and understand, and be changed by them.
Much respect to Mr. Stevenson and CBS Sunday Morning for making me and many others aware of these places and their purpose, which I had no idea existed.🇺🇸💙
Bryan Stevenson deserves a Nobel Peace Prize
If there can be a holocaust memorial site in Germany, we in the U.S. can have memorial site here to ensure we acknowledge our wrong doings (even indirectly by watching and doing/saying nothing) that caused such pains to soooo many. Acknowledging, apologizing, and taking actions to never allow such injustices on another human being is the only way to move forward…to even begin thinking and imagining what healing may look like. This is not a do-it-once and check it off our to-do list, rather an iterative and on-going effort on the part of each and every one of us. Thank you to those who use their knowledge and power to bring a change, and thank you to CBS for airing such segments.
I visited the National Memorial for Peace, " lynching" museum and it's one of the most powerful places I have visited in my entire life, and I visited more than 60 countries in the world!!!
I enjoy learning how Stevenson's efforts perpetuate peace and racial equality.
My dad said that you're incredible as we're walking out of theater after Just Mercy. Keep doing what you're doing. Mr. Stevenson. There are others who want to do the same, still, no one can replace your presence.
He’s a national treasure. Priceless!
I have never wanted to go to Alabama before and now l will plan a road trip there to visit this historic place and this museum.
Sir, I love the work you do. God bless you and your family.
The job is justice- wow!
Acknowledgement is key
Thank you for this Memorial. Mr. Stevenson is a good man. Thank you CBS for bringing this to light.
Bryan: You may feel broken but your SPIRIT is not broken ....that comes from a power greater than yourself.... the grit, determination and fortitude .... to do the work that is in front of you to do. Please do not forget that ....your spirit is the instrument that will always get you through .....no matter what ! Just keep on keeping on ✨🌞✨
Amazing Thank you for covering this.
My god ! As a French and a Nina Simone's music lover, seeing those stones hanging, it does remind me her rendition of Billie Holiday's "Strange fruit" 1939 song.
This man is a hero. Please sync your audio with your video CBS Sunday Morning.
Thank you Bryan. Thank you.
"Each of us is more than the worst thing we've ever done," Bryan Stevenson.
I can't believe how important this is. Face it. Head on.
