In an engaging and personal talk -- with cameo appearances from his grandmother and Rosa Parks -- human rights lawyer Bryan Stevenson shares some hard truths about America's justice system, starting with a massive imbalance along racial lines: a third of the country's black male population has been incarcerated at some point in their lives. These issues, which are wrapped up in America's unexamined history, are rarely talked about with this level of candor, insight and persuasiveness.
Talk by Bryan Stevenson.
His ideas and passion is the reason why I wanna work in human services and stop incarceration at the root starting with kids and families in poverty and begin a new path.
tell them to stop committing crimes.

Thank you Mr. Stevenson for giving this speech and thank you TED for putting it online. As more and more people are introduced to the ideas and lessons brought forth here, than more and more people will be able to achieve a higher understanding of their own lives and the world around them. More and more people will awaken and take action, take steps to better us all. Thank you.
I'm really embarrassed I didn't know him before
Who's here after watching Just Mercy
Me
Milad and of course he wouldn’t have 1mil likes! The world hasn’t changed since then
Milad I am
Milad I’d seen his face long before I saw the film.
Haven’t seen the movie but his book Just Mercy is brilliant
Mind the company you keep; if I sat and listened to this man's grandmother and Rosa Parks, I hope I would be at least 10% of the man Bryan Stevenson is. Awesome, just awesome!
This is so accurate, This is so well rounded and councious. I love this guy!
Excellent TED Talk. Now if people would stop arguing about science and God and get their butts in gear and help people rise out of poverty maybe we can get this country and all other countries back on track.
Lemuel's lesson that his mother taught him: "it is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink...open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy "
(Proverbs 31:4,9). Mr. Stevenson's virtue and identity manifested unto greatness through the lesson that his grandmother instilled in him. And that lesson came from the Bible, God's holy Word. Words of wisdom. Godly wisdom. Glory to God for the work and charge given and entrusted to Mr. Stevenson. May His stewardship go forth as a lightening rod
I found it very interesting that the sharing of his personal conviction and code of ethics impacted the weight of his sharing his mission for justice in my hearing. We need more leaders who live the convictions of justice they fight for like Mr. Stevenson.
You always find the most compassionate souls in those that have been the most wounded, a person who has had thier heart broke open. I signed the Universao Decloration of Human Rights today.
This talk is very moving. I took from this the idea that every thing we do has two sides we have to reconcile to truly consider that a step towards progress. From now on I vow to commit myself to socially responsible design and never lose hope in our struggle for justice. Long Live Bryan Stevenson
Marc Inzon he’s no dead
Saw him speak last year. It was a life changing event and a true wake up call.
How could 13 people possibly give this talk a thumbs down?! Baffling!
There Great People our here who are really Doing The Work!!!!
Thank You 🙏🏿❤️
Empowering! This is the first word that came to mind hearing this Ted Talk! You truly are the beacon of light that we need to help humanity start seeing with their eyes open wide and how we c an fix the ill fate our society is headed down if you do not change.
Love love love Bryan!
Here. Finally. Thank you.
I have some one who deserves Justice & Mercy...someone who has served 22 years in a Parchment,Al for a crime he was framed for by the real murderer. I need your help Mr. Bryan Stevenson.
@larzuga1 I've written to him to no avail. Now the movie is hitting and he's a celebrity so itll be as hard to contact him as it is Jay Z and Yogotti who's now involved in my fiances prison. I've been seeking help for almost 3 years.
Incredible TED talk
Thank you dear sir. Angels are among us.
Thank you Bryan!!
What an inspiring speech and person!
So proud of you!!
So love you!
I love this TED- Ed video. It was so inspiring
One word. Brilliant!!! Just brilliant.
I'm here after 60 minutes Australian.
I never knew this honest man!
No one will ever negate the fact that the programmable programmed matter inside of us proves we have a Maker not made of matter because matter is not able to make itself programmable and matter is not able to programme itself.
Only our Maker Himself is able to cover our sin, transform us and translate us into eternity because no one else can.
That is the absolute truth that no one will ever disprove.
really quite inspiring
The movie Just Mercy is free on Amazon Prime. Worth a watch.
Just Mercy brought me here...
he is awesome :D
If you don't want to provide info. to something you claim exists or to be true, then it's not my fault for not knowing something because of your own laziness.
If you're trolling, you fail.
If you're serious, then I hope the very best for you, because you're going to need it.
BRAVO!
I especially liked the family memories and urging us to look back at our history (9:46) and let it help open our eyes to our present injustices. I can't help feeling that Mr. Stevenson's work, while important, will never get anywhere if we don't have better education (watch Waiting for Superman - school choice is the path forward) and make real efforts to rescue the traditional family and end abortion (which disproportionately affects Blacks as well). Address root problems.
Why is this video unlisted
I am right, no thing in nature is able to make you without being directed.
Matter is programmable and programmed inside of you proving that you do have a Maker not made of matter because matter is not able to make itself programmable and matter is not able to programme itself.
Matter can only ever do what it is forced to do so matter is what is directed and matter is not able to direct anything without first being directed to direct.
Your Maker is not made of or limited by matter because He made matter and programmed it to be all of the different kinds of life forms.
I am right, objects did not make you because they don't know how.
my brother was at park with a couple of friends in when they was walking back to the car they seen cops looking at it so they ignored got in the car police stopped them again they ask to search the car they searched found nothing now when they was finna leave the cop said he smelled weed in looked again in found a vapor pin my brother told me it had cbd in it so i guess when the cops tested it he found thc in it so he arrested my brother he went to court the next day the judge even said he was there on bs released him in he's in drug court now so yeah.
Real Life Hero
Show me/tell me where it is then. Just saying that we do have it doesn't prove anything.
Yeah it was weird when all the sudden Batman started fighting Superman and all them it was pretty crazy but interesting. The game was okay tho it wasn’t anything crazy or innovative
Highest rate of incarceration and people don't think we have a moral problem?
That many people in jail are not there for no reason.
Yes, there is injustice. We still have a moral problem that only the truth can correct.
We need to stop lying to children, telling them, that they are animals, that evolved.
We have a Maker not made of matter because matter is not able to make us.
Just tell the truth.
...and lack of opportunity is also a real problem.
The so-called maker couldn´t not exist, because everything is made of matter. How do you know if matter is even programmable? Maybe it is, maybe it isn´t, but how do you know. Where do you get all that information from? Please, don´t tell me that you got it from the maker, because that is not something believeable. Tell me more about your maker, if you can. Thanks xb
Twenty-some minutes of talking about social justice, a dozen or so comments hung up on a single use of the word 'evolved'. Not saying this is the problem, just saying it's likely not part of the solution.
Everyone believes in different things, what´s right and wrong in their opinion, but in reality there is no evidence of the real truth. Everything can be turn into false. Religion and evolution too.
"No evidence?" How about the bones that have been found of intermediate stages between apes and humans, the fact that snakes have hips, and the numerous genetic similarities between different species?
I don't claim to have a deep understanding of the Bible, but I make an effort to know what's in it. Your previous statement shows fairly clearly that you make no such attempt to know what evolution is.
I'd really like to believe you're just a troll. Either way, I'm going to stop replying now.
You seem to assume that I claim I believe in something else, when in my previous comments I have not.
So no. You have given absolutely no indication that you are right in any way.
Why does everyone act like creationism and evolution cant co-exist?
is it a lack of understanding of what evolution is?
is it a case of religion being afraid it will be snuffed out?
all i know is people need to smarten up.
It is clear you don't care to know.
It is not about religion, it is about truth.
Evolution does not exist and no evidence has ever supported what does not exist.
Of course people fight over the truth and that is not the fault of the truth.
True teaching does no harm.
Hate english class :(
If you did not even hear about us being all of the same race and if you didn't hear about some of us being related to Neanderthals,
biology is not the place for you.
great argument, except you forget that many of the countries that lack this issue, also teach, and believe in evolution.
You cant pin every issue ever to "shoulda followed Christ" cause it just doesn't work like that... and to half quote you:
that belief is for people in La La Land.
an a oop
Batman Reference
This talk happened in 2012. Long before Candidate Trump. Apparently America did wake up but, decided that it would plunge itself (and consequently the rest of the world) into a nightmare. Happy New Year.
It´s seems you are mixing up religion with evolution. Most wars from the earlier days started, because of religion.
52??? shi* he doesnt look older than 30.
Thanks for showing there is no evidence of evolution.
You proved my point.
Objects did not make you because they don't know how.
Evolution is worthess spam.
....Mr. Bryan Stevenson...hope you followed up with the Janitor (Mr. Jimmy) because he may have been retaliated against for speaking up. Uh huh.
...and if everyone really cared about justice and truth, they would throw the teaching of the belief in evolution out of our schools.
Evolution is for people in La La Land.
Objects did not make you because they don't know how.
Why heff to be mad?
Jesus Is King and He Loves You👑❤️
Thats not completely true. One can believe fully in Evolution wile keeping with there faith. its only the people that are die hard "GOD HIMSELF MADE THE BIBLE, EVERYTHING IN IT IS WORD FOR WORD WHAT HAPPENED!" people that cant...
If there was any evidence of evolution, you would have presented it.
You clearly are not interested in knowing the evidence of the truth about our origin.
It also shows you have no interest in genetics or science.
If I know about it, you should too.
Keep on wandering in the dark like you have been, if that is what you like. Just don't complain if the truth surprises you.
I smell heavy religious Influence in his post...
That is one of the laziest excuses to not try and prove your point that I've heard. And this is coming from the guy who declares that we have a "Maker" and that we all have descended from three guys and their wives, but won't give any evidence that we all link back to them or that they even existed.
Neither have you. So take your own advice and please shut up already and go talk about your beliefs elsewhere.
I don't think you understand how evolution works. Please do some research and come back when you can make an educated argument.
Evolution is a religion period, you have to believe that this world revolved then start to look for evidence which supports your argument, evidence which can be force and is actually force you need alot of faith to believe that this world is millions of millions of years old evolution is a hoax, i doesn't how smart you sound when you argue for.
I can't understand what does not exist.
You did not prove anything so you cannot say anything.
