Yesterday I spent time watching the Movie
Just Mercy
The story of Brian Stevenson, a young lawyer who worked with inmates on death row in Alabama. All of the men that he worked with were Black men, most of whome were profiled because of the color of their skin and humiliated.
The movie centers around a group of men on death row who Mr Stevenson tries to defend by getting them brand new fair trials. Many of the men featured in the movie either did not commit the crime they were accused of, which was the case for the main character that the Movie was centered around.
Another man who was put to death did commit the crime he was accused of, but did so because he was suffering from PTSD, and was given a court appointed lawyer who did nothing to assist him, or find out that he was a war vet who had seen horrific battle.
This may sound way to simple, but this movie drove home the truth that in these modern times people are still judging each other on outside appearence and it needs to
Stop!!!
On Another note I am very proud of the Accomplished actor that Michael B. Jordan has become! I had the privilege of meeting him back in 2003, when he played Reggie Montgomery on All My Children.
