Event Details

"I was 29 and mowing the lawn at my mother's house in Birmingham, Alabama, on a hot day in July 1985, when I looked up and saw two police officers." So begins the story of The Sun Does Shine: How I Found Life and Freedom on Death Row by Anthony Ray Hinton. He tells a powerful, revealing story of hope, love, justice, and the power of reading by a man who spent 30 years on death row for a crime he didn't commit. Since his release, Hinton has devoted his life to help counter discrimination, bolster justice, and share his message of forgiveness. Registration required.
