About the Author

The Equal Justice Initiative (EJI) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending mass incarceration, challenging racial injustice, and protecting basic human rights. Founded by attorney Bryan Stevenson, EJI pursues legal representation for prisoners denied fair trials, advocates for policy changes to address systemic biases, and educates the public on the history of racial violence in America. Through meticulous research and compelling narratives, EJI exposes the enduring legacies of slavery, lynching, and segregation that continue to shape contemporary society. Their work combines rigorous historical analysis with a commitment to justice, inspiring reforms and fostering national conversations on equality and redemption.
