Join us for a special screening of Bryan Stevenson's True Justice in advance of the Dodd Prize at the Konover Auditorium in the Thomas J. Dodd Research Center. True Justice follows Stevenson's fight for equality.
There will be two screenings on November 4th at 12 and 4pm as well as two screenings on November 5th at 12:30 and 3:30pm.
Bryan Stevenson, the winner of the Dodd Prize, has worked tirelessly to defend the rights of the most marginalized and to confront the legacy of white supremacy in America. As lawyer, he has represented individuals on death row since the 1980s, winning the release, relief, or reversal of conviction for over 145 people. Mr. Stevenson has also led efforts challenging the harsh treatment of children in the criminal justice system, arguing before the Supreme Court to end life-without-parole for minors in the landmark case of Miller v. Alabama (2012).
