This has to be one of the best presentations I have ever seen. I'm currently in a criminal law class where this was introduced to me. I want to give a special "thank you" to Mr Stevenson and let him know that I think what he is doing is beyond noble. I think he is making a difference, I've shared this video with some people and plan to share it with so many more! Again, thank you Mr Stevenson for a job, VERY well done! God bless you!
I read Bryan Stevenson's book A Just Mercy. It was well written and an easy read. I believe that we cannot adequately address the crime in the inner city ghettos in this country without trying to understand the different relationship and history that blacks have with the police as compared to whites. I have had a few scary encounters with the police. The past often informs the present.
thank you Mr. Stevenson for your tireless, self-less work… you have inspired me to do the work I do… the content I read… the unconscious bias I continue to expunge and free myself from… thank you Mr. Stevenson, best wishes...
Who is Mr. Stevenson behind the spotlight? Does he actually practice mercy? How often does he encourage human proximity? Let me tell a little bit about what is to work for him (via HIS Montgomery-based organization, the Equal Justice Initiative): 1. Managers reward subservience, taking orders, and not thinking critically or independently; 2. All assignments and tasks must come from Bryan Stevenson, the Executive Director, and even senior staff members are not authorized to pull people in on projects. This results in staff having long periods of time--weeks on end--with no work to do; 3. There is no professional training or development as well as lots of passive aggression; 4. There is no human resources department to address employee grievances; 5. People--including legal and non-legal staff--are treated with no respect, are policed, censured, and micromanaged; 6. Various forms of control prevail, namely: divide and conquer, silent treatment, emotional blackmail, isolation, humiliation, cheap flattering combined with retaliation, and direct and indirect threats. That is not all: EJI also lacks transparency with the public and with grantors in regard to how money is spent, where it is allocated, how many clients EJI has and what the outcomes in those cases were. Lastly, I cannot forget to mention the fact that the Board of Directors (if it still exists) exercises no de facto oversight of EJI and its affairs.
Darius Oba Williams is an agent of disruption. He is trying to discredited the EJI either because he doesn't want to see the EJI succeed or because he is a disgruntled(by that I mean disgraced) employee who was terminated because he(or she) could not hold up to the heavy task(s) required to make a difference in the world.

Darius Oba Williams....ok
