Reminder: Bryan Stevenson, author of Just Mercy, to speak tomorrow at the Sottile

One of the most troubling and yet inspiring books we read last year was Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption by Bryan Stevenson, founder and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative. He will be speaking tomorrow at 6:00 p.m. at the Sottile Theatre as part of the Race and Social Justice Series hosted by the College of Charleston and the Avery Research Center. The event is free and open to the public. Click here for information.

We hope to see you there!
