Wade in the Water: Bryan Stevenson

February 26, 6:00 pm8:00 pm

Please mark your calendars for Wade in the Water’s regular monthly meeting, MONDAY, February 26, from 6 – 8 PM,

at Bethel AME Church, 714 Savannah Street, Mobile.

At this meeting, we’ll watch part one of the Emmy Award winning HBO feature documentary, True Justice: Bryan Stevenson’s Fight for Equality, which follows 30 years of the Equal Justice Initiative’s work on behalf of the poor, the incarcerated, and the condemned. The film focuses on Bryan Stevenson’s life and career—particularly his indictment of the U.S. criminal justice system for its role in codifying modern systemic racism—and tracks the intertwined histories of slavery, lynching, segregation, and mass incarceration.

The viewing of the film will be followed by small-group discussions.

We hope you’ll plan to join us for this evening of good fellowship, information, and inspiration!
