- Attorney Bryan Stevenson, author of the bestseller "Just Mercy," has helped to save 145 wrongly-convicted prisoners from execution, but these days the man behind Montgomery, Alabama's National Memorial for Peace and Justice might be better known his other job: educating Americans about the legacy of slavery and racial violence in this country. Stevenson talks with correspondent David Pogue about confronting history as a first step in healing, and gives a tour of the brand new Legacy Museum in Montgomery.

God bless this wise, brave man! As an old, retired white teacher, it’s difficult to comprehend the cruelty of some people! I know these things to be true…We must LEARN from our mistakes! Our children must be taught TRUTHS. “Mistakes are opportunities to learn.” “ The truth will set us free.” Thanks for devoting you brilliance to make the world a better place!
God bless you too, who stands up to what is right.
I remember my grandmother pointing out to me places in the pavement on each of 4 corners in downtown Dallas. At one time there was a double archway made of granite that rose above the intersection about 5 feet. It was built to commemorate some event. She said a black man was hung from it around 1910 or so. I was about 14 when she told me this as we stood in the middle of downtown Dallas in 1979. It shook me and I could tell that it really affected her. We have so much to atone for. Anyone who truly loves this nation will not shy away from these horrible truths. We must see them, remember them.
Yes, and LEARN from them. Thank you for passing on your grandmother’s words.
Knowledge of the TRUTH is what will help in the UNDERSTANDING of HISTORY.
I read "Just Mercy" and was furious at the treatment Mr.McMillan received. Just unbelievable. I was ashamed to be a citizen of a country that condoned such abuse of authority. I mean I was FURIOUS!
I have been to this memorial and it is a valid remembrance of what happened to people who were lynched by their fellow citizens. It is heart-rending.
The monument is very daunting.The descent the viewer takes to view the entire piece, seems to represent the descent of our morality to have allowed such atrocities.
GOD BLESS this Man!! He is an American HERO!!!!
Thank you, Mr. Stevenson for your hard and noble work!
Bryan Stevenson - American Icon.
Shine a light.
You can never go to the future unless you learn from the past.
👍🏻🇺🇸-🕊 YES, "JUSTICE" Does Absolutely Matter.
As with individuals, you have to face the painful truth before you can be healed and liberated. Thank you Bryan Stevenson!! That said, we have the most punative society in the world, except for the rich. They do whatever they want and get away with it.
~ "But that's different... It's easier for Americans to memorialize something that was done to 𝕌𝕊 than it is to memorialize something we did to others." Therein lies the rub, Mr. Pogue. 𝙒𝙚 (Black people of the United States) are Americans. These atrocities were/are committed against/done to "Americans". Toni Morrison said it best when stating, “In this country, American means white. Everybody else has to hyphenate.” That, in fact, is the irony here.
Awesome story!
It is MOST IMPORTANT TO LOOK AT THE HORRENDOUS EVIL ACTIONS OF HUMANS TOWARDS HUMANS. NO ONE IS SUPERIOR..... NO ONE!
A beacon of light and hope and truth in America's willfully ignorant and indefensible, sinful darkness. Thank you.
The level of cruelty is just mind boggling. How did this happen? Why weren't more of us outraged.
Powerful. Hope to visit some day when my kid is of age.
This is a true patriot!!!!

HATE is ALWAYS the MINORITY. DON’T LISTEN.
Millions of Americans voted for Trump , man who pretends to good but is fueling hate. Not very small minority.
@@vesawuoristo4162 detail to me exactly how he fueled hate
BELIEVE THAT JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED FOR YOUR SINS AND WAS RAISED FROM THE DEAD AND BE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST FOR REMISSION OF SINS AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST, " JOHN P KEE" JESUS IS REAL THATS A SONG THIS IS BUMBLEBEE!
How do they know for sure that man was innocent????
How do we know he was guilty?
It is called a lack of evidence to prove him guilty. You can’t jail a human for life or execute them without evidence that they are guilty.
the point is that the person was killed without due process of the law. and innocent until proved guilty. likewise with racism you are not a racist until proved to be a racist or you demonstrate that you are a racist.
I ALWAYS ask if my waiter or waitress is vaccinated. THAT will decide if they get a tip or not. If they ARE VACCINATED. No TIP!!!!
Seriously?
