Bryan Stevenson has chosen to be a warrior for social justice at the expense of a personal life. He reminds us that despair is not an option. He is a magnificent and inspiring human being.
My experience as an employee at the Lighthouse College Preparatory Academy in Gary, Indiana:
It's psychological warfare. I worked at a basically all African American School for years. I was nice to everyone. In fact, I was so nice that I was nice to the point of being obsequious in behavior. Never once did I utilize racial epithets and/or articulate with expletives. Yet, I had to deal with being treated like an outcast. I was excluded from virtually everything. I was mocked, and my race and age were constantly being brought up. Finally, when I replied that I was being discriminated against, I was fired. Mrs. Beasley fired me. And, when I asked her to provide me with a reason why, she smirked and stated that I'm under at-will employment, and that means that she has the right to fire me for any or no reason. Black people want fairness, but when they become the majority, are they fair? I've never been racist in my life, but I was treated horribly there, and I find that to be extremely disconcerting. Prove me wrong! I think there is a war that's being waged against white people! Isn't that racism?

Go see "Just Mercy". It's about how Bryan Stevenson began the Equal Justice Initiative 30 years ago, how the truth prevailed and overcame deep-seated racism, bigotry, and corruption in Alabama. It is refreshing to see a movie about a current living active justice legal system. Kudos to Bryan and his team.
Victoria Rice, that is the best movie I have seen because of the message, and the humanity in the movie
It's free on Amazon Prime and other venues now... With many other great titles!
Ahhh okay. I am excited to see it!

@@guitarttimman I am sorry that you had that experience. If you were mistreated in the workplace then that is unfortunate. The people who mistreated you did not have the power to exclude you from employment, deny you access to healthcare or safe housing. It was an unfortunate isolated incident. It hardly makes a war against you because you were White. There is no comparison. You were able to move on with your life. You didn't wind up spending 20 years in prison because you couldn't find a job and had to steal a loaf of bread. I am sorry that you are mistreated.
Visited this place 6 months ago today. POWERFUL!
Everything Bryan Stevenson does and says is worth hearing and absorbing. I had a hard time hearing him in this,with the music in the foreground instead of in the background, He is an inspiring man
Super old comment I know, but if this is ever an issue for you, I recommend turning on the captions :)
Here is what I think about white people's debt to black people. To my knowledge I have never done anything to harm a black person and as a Jew I feel a kinship with black suffering. There is a BUT to this. I have reaped the benefits of all that slaves built. I went to Montgomery with my black friend and boss and will never forget that experience. We were the first visitors that day and so we were able to see everything in quiet without the jabbering of other tourists. Thank you Bryan Stevenson. I still have the canvas bag I bought there with your quote "The opposite of poverty is not wealth. The opposite of poverty is justice" I hope I as an anti-Zionist Jew I will not forget what you and the visit to Montgomery has taught me.
Mr. Stevenson, Awesome!
Watching your youtube videos during quarantine provides the perfect continuing education seminars to add to my interests...thank you...erica bermudo..washington post 2007
This man is something else, what a man
His Ted Talk is amazing. Simply one of the best I’ve watched
@@vitalitybypaul6966 I TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!
Awesome very powerful
Beautiful sentiments and a museum well worth seeing. I hope to visit this year...Tragic and sad, but worse to not acknowledge the past.
Get ready to experience a WIDE range of emotions...Its REAL!!!!

Excellent video. Amazing what he's accomplished. This is the kind of character a president needs to be. Not the clown that's pretending to be one now.
I mean this man is more than just hero , he is a real "super hero" A real warrior, " Stevenson is not only inspiring the European, indians too. Kudos
This is a very important message.
So powerful
Such a strong person doing great great things

💜💥 Mr. STEVENSON'S BOOK IS A GOOD READ.
When you don't KNOW your history, others will tell, n you won't like it...bc they sugar coating it NOW. We are a special ppl, n lots of ppl will tell us " we need to get over it" ... why? If you don't learn from history...you bound to repeat it. We as a ppl, paying today for social acceptance, bc we never got that much less equal rights. We have as a ppl LESS today than we had 1920. I rather have a community than a neighborhood any day.
Truth is you won't find any accurate history on Africans. Europeans burned downed libraries and Eurocentric historians pretty much omitted and twisted anything related to Africans. European translators made sure to omit and change records from the Arab travelers. You google some of the African places mentioned in their accounts and google will pull up nothing.
Im here after watching Just Mercy
Me too
Alabama doesn't have a public defender system???
It didn’t. Not sure if it still does. Thank God for Bryan and his efforts
So sad how this entire tragedy has poisoned generations after generations...
Interesting...
Does anyone know the music to this?
Hi, if you go to 6:03 they give the music credits:
Enzo Orefice - Photographs
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross - 9 Ghosts I
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross - 12 Ghosts II
God richly bless him. Sad that this video hasn’t receive the attention it deserves. Dr Umar Johnson talked about Mr Stevenson in one of his interviews which lead me to research, and to this video.
Where is this museum.
Montgomery, Alabama.

Thanks a lot Jesus Christ our Lord 🙏😭 without You we all are nothing in this life 🙏 You always send us some good people as Your Hand to defeat evil and injustice ❗ in God we trust, Amen
I looked up og shite brain Stevenson and found this lmfao
How long do we pay for the sins of our fathers? Why perpetuate the sins of our fathers? Why perpetuate the hate, sorrow, and the lie of "white supremacy." Where is forgiveness? Why can't we move forward, together as one people? Where does "love your neighbor as yourself" come into play -- or does it ever? Is it only retribution, entitlement, and a victim mentality?
Gary DeSha as long as their continues to be inequality, racial aggressiveness and injustice towards people just because of race.
One cannot forgive when the other doesn't acknowledge the wrong that has been committed. There is more outrage over the removal of traitorous statues than the simple acknowledgment of and apologizing for the original sin of this nation.
Gary DeSha how must we forgive the reoccurrence on said things? The only difference now is that slavery is illegal but white supremacy is still very prevalent! So speak for yourself and not your neighbor!
@@LanAndMila I was speaking for myself. Not every caucasian is a "white supremacist." Where in your life have you personally experienced the hate that you now feel and express?
Lana Michael, I agree, we must never forget those people who perished and make sure it never happens again, now we have criminal justice system that enslaves people, just nobody wants to talk about it, same thing
Oh my gosh! Get to the point! Piano, long pauses, telling us about slavery as if we don't know it happened. All of that causes loss of credibility because you seem more intent to manipulate than to put forward your case. I couldn't get past 4 minutes... ugh. If you had something worthwhile to say, you should say it quicker.
Your ridiculously small attention span of 4 minutes is your issue. Take your self elsewhere.
@@maryotto378 You are a silly person. Take yourself elsewhere.
