Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption by Bryan Stevenson
This book is a very well written process of how Bryan Stevenson spent many many years attempting to bring justice to those of color with an emphasis on youth and those on death row. He really shows deep compassion and understanding for these inmates and works through The Equal Justice Initiative to bring them justice. The introduction of the book mentions the number of people who are wrongly convicted and sentenced to death and eventually executed to be later proved innocent. That right there is the imperfection that Stevenson was trying to make right...or as right as possible.
This is a great read and very well written. Once I got this book, I had a really hard time putting it down. You really get to see the struggle of the poor and the blacks in the south and it is really an eye opening book.
