Bryan Stevenson Plus One: Inside the Struggles for Hope and Just Mercy

Bryan Stevenson – founder of the Equal Justice Initiative, author of Just Mercy, and one of the most influential justice advocates of our time – joins My Legacy with his plus one: Anthony Ray Hinton, who spent nearly 30 years on death row for a crime he didn’t commit. 

In this special Black History Month episode, Stevenson and Hinton sit down with hosts Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, Marc Kielburger, and Craig Kielburger to share the extraordinary story of how they met, what kept them both going, and what it really means to seek justice with love, not vengeance. 

Together, they share how: 

• Real justice starts with telling the truth about our past 

• We are all more than the worst thing we’ve ever done 

• You don’t truly appreciate sunshine and stars until they’re taken from you 

• Hope is a daily, defiant choice 

• Laughter can keep your soul alive, even in a 5x7 cell
