- Summary
- Lawyer and nonprofit legal director Bryan Stevenson was born November 14, 1959 in Milton, Delaware. He graduated from Eastern College in St. Davids, Pennsylvania in 1977 and attended Harvard Law School, graduating in 1985. Stevenson began interning at the Southern Center for Human Rights, devoting his life to criminal justice reform. Stevenson founded the Equal Justice Initiative in 1994, a non-profit law center in Montgomery, Alabama focused on those condemned to the death penalty and children sentenced to life-without-parole penalties which disproportionately affect people of color, with disabilities, and the poor and marginalized. In the early 2010s, Stevenson's TED talk and bestselling memoir gained him national recognition. In 2013, he placed markers commemorating slave trading sites in Montgomery, despite resistance from the state government. Stevenson expanded the Equal Justice Initiative to erect memorials to lynchings in Alabama, and founded a museum, From Slavery to Mass Incarceration, that opened in Montgomery in 2017.
