Bryan Stevenson (nato il 14 novembre 1959) è un avvocato americano, attivista per la giustizia sociale, professore di diritto presso la New York University School of Law e fondatore e direttore esecutivo della Equal Justice Initiative. Con sede a Montgomery, in Alabama, ha sfidato i pregiudizi contro i poveri e le minoranze nel sistema di giustizia penale, in particolare i bambini. Ha contribuito a raggiungere le decisioni della Corte Suprema degli Stati Uniti che vietano di condannare a morte o all'ergastolo i minori di 18 anni senza condizionale. Ha assistito in casi che hanno salvato dozzine di prigionieri dalla pena di morte, ha sostenuto i poveri, e ha sviluppato contenziosi di riforma su base comunitaria volti a migliorare l'amministrazione della giustizia penale.
Ha avviato il National Memorial for Peace and Justice a Montgomery, che onora i nomi di ciascuno degli oltre 4.000 afroamericani linciati nei dodici stati del sud dal 1877 al 1950. Sostiene che la storia della schiavitù e dei linciaggi ha influenzato il successivo alto tasso di condanne a morte nel sud, dove è stato applicato in modo sproporzionato alle minoranze. Un museo correlato, The Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration, offre interpretazioni per mostrare il collegamento tra il periodo dei linciaggi post-ricostruzione e l'alto tasso di esecuzioni e incarcerazioni di persone di colore negli Stati Uniti.
Nel novembre 2018, Stevenson ha ricevuto il Benjamin Franklin Award dall'American Philosophical Society come "Drum major for Justice and misericordia. Nel 2020 ha condiviso il Right Livelihood Award con Nasrin Sotoudeh, Ales Bialiatski e Lottie Cunningham Wren.

Descrizione di Il libro

A perilous path: talking race, inequality, and the law pdf da Bryan Stevenson

Preface / by Anthony C. Thompson -- A perilous path : race, inequality, and the law -- Postscript / by Anthony C. Thompson -- Acknowledgments.;A no-holds-barred, red-hot discussion of race in America today from some of the leading names in the field, including the bestselling author of Just Mercy This blisteringly candid discussion of the American dilemma in the age of Trump brings together the head of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, the former attorney general of the United States, a bestselling author and death penalty lawyer, and a star professor for an honest conversation the country desperately needs to hear. Drawing on their collective decades of work on civil rights issues as well as personal histories of rising from poverty and oppression, these leading lights of the legal profession and the fight for racial justice talk about the importance of reclaiming the racial narrative and keeping our eyes on the horizon as we work for justice in an unjust time. Covering topics as varied as "the commonality of pain," "when lawyers are heroes," and the concept of an "equality dividend" that is due to people of color for helping America brand itself internationally as a country of diversity and acceptance, Ifill, Lynch, Stevenson, and Thompson also explore topics such as "when did 'public' become a dirty word" (hint, it has something to do with serving people of color), "you know what Jeff Sessions is going to say," and "what it means to be a civil rights lawyer in the age of Trump." Building on Stevenson's hugely successful Just Mercy, Lynch's national platform at the Justice Department, Ifill's role as one of the leading defenders of civil rights in the country, and the occasion of Thompson's launch of a new center on race, inequality, and the law at the NYU School of Law, A Perilous Path will speak loudly and clearly to everyone concerned about America's perpetual fault line.
