Wellesley College is thrilled to welcome Bryan Stevenson—founder and Executive Director of the Equal Justice Initiative, a human rights organization in Montgomery, Alabama, and author of the critically acclaimed New York Times bestseller, Just Mercy, to speak about race and criminal justice with the community.

This event fits into the broader theme of 2021-22 campus events on prison organizing and resisting the carceral state, in collaboration with the Wellesley Project on Public Leadership & Action and the Prison Nation project at the Davis Museum at Wellesley College.

Wellesley College students, faculty, and staff will need a ticket to attend the event in person, which will be held in Alumnae Hall Auditorium. An email with a link to register was sent on April 11. The event will also be livestreamed on wellesley.edu/live for alumnae and the general public.
