We begin our next series, this time on Capital Punishment. We start with the history of crimes throughout written history that justified the death penalty. Then we get into colonial history and how the death penalty was built into the foundations of racist America. Multiple Supreme Court rulings have shifted the landscape. We end with the recent EO attempting to expand the powers of the death penalty.   Death Penalty survey #1: https://forms.gle/S31MTYbM8JNsikpe9    Show Notes:    History of the death penalty: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/history-of-the-death-penalty/  https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/facts-and-research/background/history-of-the-death-penalty/early-history-of-the-death-penalty  Timeline of the history of the death penalty: https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/stories/history-of-the-death-penalty-timeline  History of the death penalty in USA: https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/facts-and-research/background/history-of-the-death-penalty  Death penalty in the U.S.: https://www.findlaw.com/criminal/criminal-procedure/the-u-s-and-the-death-penalty.html  Capital punishment in the United States: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_the_United_States  On Crimes and Punishment by Cesare Bonesana di Beccaria, 1764: https://constitutioncenter.org/the-constitution/historic-document-library/detail/cesare-bonesana-di-beccariaon-crimes-and-punishments-1764 Overview of the death penalty and capital trials: History, current status, legal procedures, and cost: https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/overview-death-penalty-and-capital-trials-history-current-status  Crimes act of 1790: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimes_Act_of_1790 List of women executed in the United States since 1976: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_women_executed_in_the_United_States_since_1976  Amnesty International resources https://www.amnesty.org/en/what-we-do/death-penalty/ “The Movement to Abolish Capital Punishment in America, 1787-1861” by David Brion Davis: https://www.jstor.org/stable/1847110?read-now=1&seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents Study reveals racial bias in executions: https://eji.org/news/study-reveals-racial-bias-in-executions/ “I just wanted to … stay alive” Who was WIlliam Furman, the prisoner at the center of a historic legal decision?: https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/i-just-wanted-to-stay-alive-who-was-william-henry-furman-the-prisoner-at-the-center-of-a-historic-legal-decision  Furman v Georgia:  https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/us-supreme-court/408/238.html chrome-extension://oemmndcbldboiebfnladdacbdfmadadm/https://scholarship.richmond.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1097&context=law-student-publications  Gregg v Georgia: https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/us-supreme-court/428/153.html  HIstorical Federal Executions: https://www.usmarshals.gov/who-we-are/history/historical-reading-room/historical-federal-executions  Judiciary Act of 1789: https://www.usmarshals.gov/who-we-are/history/historical-reading-room/judiciary-act-of-1789-charter-us-marshals-and-deputies  EO on expanded Death Penalty https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/restoring-the-death-penalty-and-protecting-public-safety/ https://prismreports.org/2025/02/10/death-penalty-undocumented-immigrants-trump/ https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/florida-lawmakers-push-for-mandatory-death-penalty-in-immigration-crackdown/ Equal Justice Initiative https://eji.org/issues/death-penalty/ Texas Department of Criminal Justice on DP https://www.tdcj.texas.gov/death_row/dr_facts.html McCleskey v.

In July 2023, a group of clergy and laity from the Great Plains Conference met up with fellow United Methodists from the Louisiana Conference for a civil rights immersion experience. Over the course of four days, the group lived the history of Alabama. Our group spent much of its time in Montgomery. We saw the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church and walked in the parsonage where Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King lived. We spent the better part of a day at the Legacy Museum, a mission of the Equal Justice Initiative (or EJI). It's an amazing museum that uses the latest in technology to help tell the story of racism — from kidnappings in the African continent to the often-deadly voyage to North America to the brutality of slavery. It also explains the injustice of Jim Crow laws and addresses the modern-day inequity of mass incarceration. Our group saw the bus station where Freedom Riders were beaten, walked a memorial dedicated to honoring the lives of the numerous people lynched over the years, including right here in Kansas and Nebraska. We traveled to Selma and walked the bridge where Dr. King, John Lewis and others were abused by white supremacists, including police officers. In Birmingham, we talked with people who are members of 16th Street Baptist Church, where four girls were killed by a bomb. And we toured the Civil Rights Institute, which tells the story, decade by decade, of the push for equity in this country. February is Black History Month, so I wanted to share some of the stories from our trip. I wanted to provide an opportunity for listeners to feel the emotions, embrace the potential for change in our country by hearing the stories of people — Black, brown and white. And, in this concluding episode of the three-part series, I wanted to convey the ways people believe they have changed — And their hopes and dreams for how our world can change … for the better.

Myths and misconceptions abound. If you're relying on what you learned over a decade ago in school, you probably don't have your facts straight about slavery— how it began, grew, and changed over time.As we walk through five big ideas, you'll learn the major milestones spanning over 200 foundational years in US history.Your listen next list:Juneteenth— All the Stuff No One Ever Taught You on Apple & SpotifyCommon Terms I Stopped Using (And What I Say Instead) on Apple & SpotifyLearn Critical Race Theory in 20 Minutes on Apple & SpotifyTo support Marie and get exclusive resources, head to patreon.com/mariebeech.

LNB Digitālajā bibliotēkā ir apskatāmas arī tūkstošiem atklātņu, kuras līdzās grāmatām un citiem iespieddarbiem glabā Nacionālā bibliotēka. Tās atklātņu kolekcija ir milzīga: apmēram simt tūkstoši. Un nupat pienācis šīs kolekcijas zvaigžņu brīdis: Latvijas Nacionālā bibliotēka laidusi klajā izdevumu „Atmiņu topogrāfijas”. Tā ir simt fotopastkaršu izlase no 20. gadsimta 20. – 30. gadiem – personisku un kolektīvu atmiņu kaleidoskops ar lielu estētisko un pētniecisko vērtību. „Mīļo Onkul! Vai Jūs nebūtu tik laipni un neatnāktu kāds sestdienas vakarā mums uz staciju pretī, jo mēs ar Igaunijas māsīcām brauksim uz Puikalnu. Varbūt gadījienā, ja no viņiem neviens nav pretī, varētu pie Jums pa nakti pārgulēt. Ar mīļu sveicienu – Milda Kļaviņa Valkā, 1927.gada 4.augustā” Šādu atklātni Alsviķa ielā Alūksnē savulaik saņēmis kāds Jānis Kļaviņš. Otrā pusē Mildas praktiskajam lūgumam redzams Latvijas – Igaunijas robežpārejas punkts Valkā ar svītrainu koka barjeru, kāds tas izskatījās pirms gandrīz simt gadiem. Cita kartīte: fotogrāfijā redzams Rēzeknes tilts un koka apbūve ap 1930.gadu, bet atklātnes otrā pusē kāds Edžus raksta Zeibota kundzei Rīgā: „Rēzekne! Paldies Dievam, atkal grūti laiki. Eji nu staigā kā Dieva nepieņemts. Ko tas lidz ka Rēzekne diezgan smuka, par to atkal viesnicas nesmukas un nevar teikt ka lētas.” (saglabāta oriģinālā rakstība un interpunkcija) Šīs ir tikai divas no simt fotopastkartēm no pagājušā gadsimta 20.-30.gadiem, kas iekļuvušas izdevumā „Atmiņu topogrāfijas”. Albumu veidojusi Latvijas Nacionālās bibliotēkas Mākslas krājuma eksperte Līga Goldberga. Izdevums „Atmiņu topogrāfijas” ir būtisks arī ar to, ka izgaismo ne vien Latvijas Nacionālās bibliotēkas plašo krājumu, bet arī krājuma glabātāja darba nozīmi. Līgas Goldbergas ikdienas darbs ir kārtot un sistematizēt krājumā esošās fotogrāfijas, atklātnes un piedāvāt tās visdažādākajiem pētniekiem. Viens no pētniekiem, kura darbā liela nozīme ir šiem krājumiem, ir vēsturnieks Mārtiņš Mintaurs. Viņš jau paguvis izpētīt arī jaunizdoto krājumu „Atmiņu topogrāfijas”. Daļa fotopastkaršu Latvijas Nacionālās bibliotēkas krājumā nonākušas kā obligātie eksemplāri, daudzas ir dāvinājumi. „Atmiņu topogrāfijās” ietvertās atklātņu reprodukcijas rada ļoti autentisku sajūtu, jo tajās redzama visa pastkaršu dzīve – plīsumi, švīkas, reizēm mitruma un uguns pēdas.

Real Talk is getting uncomfortable in Montgomery. Ama-Robin, Mel, and Ben visit the historical town of Montgomery, Alabama. The town is home to the Equal Justice Initiative which works to challenge racial and economic injustice in the United States. The ETT team discusses the Legacy Museum, the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, and the Freedom Monument Sculpture Park. The city of Montgomery is also a living museum. This was an "unforgettable journey through American History." We confront racial terror and reflect on America's conflicting and racist rhetoric and experiences.  Join us for this "uncomfortable" journey of healing in one of America's most historically racist spaces.  Asante sana to the Equal Justice Initiative for its continuing work towards racial justice. You can learn more about their work and support them at eji.org.

Is today's system of mass incarceration really a descendant of slavery? Is the death penalty really "a direct descendant of lynch law?" In this episode, I go over all of the things they never taught you in school about racism and our criminal justice system. Not just racism of the past, but shocking statistics that show that racism plays a role in our current justice system.

Our exploration of the history of race in America takes us to Montgomery, Alabama. Harvard Attorney Bryan Stevenson opened the offices of the Equal Justice Initiative in the city where Rosa Parks refused to yield her seat on a public bus and where a young Dr. Martin Luther King became pastor of Dexter Street Baptist Church. The best-selling book which became a full-length feature film, JUST MERCY, tells the story of Bryan's work uncovering the incarceration of innocent victims and exposing the racial inequities of the Criminal Justice System. The Legacy Museum takes our contributors through the history of Slavery to Segregation to Incarceration to Lynching, highlighting the real resistance and the champions of the Civil Rights Movement. The Peace and Justice Memorial is designed to acknowledge and honor more than 4,000 documented lynchings that took place in some 800 counties in the United States.

On a sweltering August night in Alabama in 1999, neighbors of the Liz and Deroy Nalls heard the desperate cries of the couple's 10-year-old granddaughter Mary. They discovered the child bleeding profusely as she stumbled down the dark road towards their home. The Nalls' house was ablaze and Grandma Liz sat critically injured on a lawn chair underneath a tree in her front yard. As firefighters fought the flames, they discovered the tortured remains of two more Nalls' family members. However, one person was unaccounted for that night: Mary's 14-year-old sister, Ashley Jones.

When I think of success, I think of Eji Benson. He's a fashion designer who created 'City Junk NYC' a clothing and shoe brand in New York City. The irony of course, is when you speak to this man, he'll tell you he measures his success differently and he doesn't always feel like he's where he should be. Eji takes us on a road to his past where we discover some of the traumas and things that have held him back in his career. Pointing to the things that he's rarely shared with anyone. In his own words, these are his 'bare bones' as we talk mental health, challenge the norm of who gets abused and the road he's now taken to get to where he is today.

​We honor Black History Month by discussing women of color. Billie Holiday, or often referred to as “Lady Day” is perhaps one of the greatest jazz musicians to have ever lived. She gave jazz fanatics songs to last a lifetime. Her melodious voice and trademark tilting backward of the head will always be remembered fondly.Although she thrived at her craft, the “Strange Fruit” singer who grew up impoverished, pattern of abusive relationships and drug abuse. Like many great artists she roared through life. She remained faithful to the sub culture in which she found herself and never asked for anything, and certainly never asked for permission.This episode we are suggesting Equal Justice Initiatives.

Thank you Newsstand Studio at 1 Rockefeller Plaza for providing a place for me to record this episode for y’all! No more Brooklyn closet recording!!! As someone who speaks openly about dating, I get a lot of people sliding into my DMs either asking where all of the single Godly guys are or complaining that chivalry is dead. So I am going to do a deep dive on the topic. Full disclosure: this episode was supposed to be with a guest, but about an hour before our scheduled interview the guest reached out and explained that they felt our messages were out of alignment. I wanted to share this with you because I believe that The Refined Collective is a place where we don’t have to agree. We aren’t meant to live in an echo chamber. We can build bridges with people who don’t believe the things we believe. It’s healthy and okay to not have the same views on everything. You are welcome here regardless of what you do or do not believe. I have open arms for you.   What comes to mind when you think of chivalry? Jane Austen (I’m partial to the Keira Knightley Pride & Prejudice) Dropping the hanky, whether that means literally dropping the hanky or swooning (anyone else watching Bridgerton on Netflix?)  Dropping the hanky looks different in 2021, but there are still ways to give a guy the green light to pursue you. Back to Bridgerton, women (teenage girls, really) were held to a different standard than the men when it came to marriage (and pretty much everything else too).   Things to consider: When was the last time you experienced chivalry? As women, are we giving mixed messages?   How can we encourage chivalry  Invitation vs. Demand. Verbal affirmation. Thank you goes a long way. Ask for support. Lead with vulnerability.   Resources Check out the episode I did with Kait Warman all about dropping the hanky here. Are you interested in an Ask Kat series on the podcast? Email questions you want Kat to answer on air to social@therefinedwoman.com. The questions can be about anything and everything!   I was tired of hearing male pastors preach about waiting until marriage for sex when they had gotten married in their early 20s and had no idea what it was really like to date in today’s culture! I wanted to hear from someone in my shoes— so I wrote a book! It’s called Sexless in the City: A Sometimes Sassy, Sometimes Painful, Always Honest Look at Dating, Desire, and Sex and it’s coming out in April 2021! Head over to bit.ly/kat-sexless to pre-order now! Then email social@therefinedwoman.com so I can send you some free resources as a thank you!   To honor Black History Month, I am spending time this month talking about companies and organizations that I love that are run and founded by Black men and women. This week, I want to share about the Equal Justice Initiative, a private nonprofit organization that provides legal representation to people who have been illegally convicted, unfairly sentenced, or abused in state jails and prisons. They challenge the death penalty and excessive punishment and provide re-entry assistance to formerly incarcerated people. Go to EJI.org to find out how you can get involved.   For $5/month, you can get access to exclusive video content for Patreon subscribers.

The commitment to acting on climate change by the Biden administration is attracting much attention, as President Biden outlines his agenda and appoints individuals to carry it out across the government. But just as important, as they have always been, are steps being taken by states to curb emissions and promote cleaner forms of energy. And no state has been more of a leader on these issues than California. In this edition of Columbia Energy Exchange, host Bill Loveless talks to two of the leading energy reporters in California, which has been hard hit by the pandemic even as it copes with wildfires and other environmental disasters made worse by climate change. Sammy Roth covers energy for the Los Angeles Times and writes the weekly “Boiling Point”. He previously reported for the Desert Sun and USA Today, where he focused on renewable energy, climate change, electric utilities and public lands. He holds a bachelor of arts in sustainable development from Columbia University, where he was the editor in chief of the Columbia Daily Spectator. J.D. Morris is a business reporter covering PG&E and the coronavirus for the San Francisco Chronicle. Before joining the Chronicle, he was the Sonoma County government reporter for the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, where he was among journalists awarded a Pulitzer Prize for their coverage of the 2017 North Bay wildfires. Both Sammy and J.D. are past participants in the Energy Journalism Initiative at the Center on Global Energy Policy which helps energy journalists gain a deeper understanding of complex issues associated with the beat. CGEP is now accepting applications from energy journalists for the 2021 EJI seminar in June. More information is available on the CGEP website. In their conversation, Bill, Sammy and J.D. discuss the impact of the pandemic in California and the implications of it for efforts to address climate change. They also delve into the status of various climate policies undertaken in the Golden State, including its cap-and-trade program and steps taken at the state and local level to promote electric vehicles and restrict installation of natural gas service in new residential and commercial buildings.

The attack on the U.S. Capitol may have obscured for the moment the traditional transfer of power that will take place with the inauguration of Joe Biden as president. But even amid the ongoing turmoil in Washington, efforts to set agendas in the new administration and the new Congress on important policy matters, like climate change, continue to take place. In this edition of Columbia Energy Exchange, host Bill Loveless turns to two of the most experienced reporters covering energy and climate change: Amy Harder of Axios and Steve Mufson of The Washington Post.  The political climate has changed considerably in recent days. And it’s not only because of the violence on Capitol Hill. Significantly, Democrats will now control the Senate as well as the House of Representatives and the White House. Bill, Amy and Steve talk about the hostility at the Capitol, which had taken place just a day before their conversation and sets a troubling tone for governance in Washington as the year 2021 begins. That said, they look at the aggressive plans for energy and climate policy by Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and their options for acting on them quickly. They discuss, as well, the makeup of the new Congress and some of the lawmakers whose impact on policy is likely to be felt. Regulation comes up, too, especially the potential for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission to step up their oversight of the impacts of climate change. Amy has been with Axios for four years, with her column, the “Harder Line,” a regular feature of the news service. Previously, she was a reporter at the Wall Street Journal and National Journal. Steve has worked at The Post since 1989, covering the White House, China, economic policy and diplomacy as well as energy. His current beat is the business of climate change. Earlier, he worked at the Wall Street Journal in New York, London and Johannesburg. As he talks to these senior reporters, Bill calls attention to the Center on Global Energy Policy’s Energy Journalism Initiative, which gives energy reporters an opportunity to learn more about complex topics associated with the beat, like science, technology, markets and policy, all with an eye toward helping them in their work. Some 80 journalists from the U.S. and abroad have participated in EJI since its inception in 2017, and details of this year's program will be announced soon.

In this episode, Mary Moriarty, career Public Defender (PD) and chief of the Hennepin County PD's Office in Minneapolis, provides a much needed perspective into the work of a PD, countering the public perception of PDs being public pretenders. Additionally Mary offers insight as to role prosecutors and judges can play in holding officers accountable and criminal system reform. Mary also talks briefly about the good trouble she's gotten herself into speaking out about problems within the criminal system as well as racial disparities. Mary is an avid reader and has provided a list of must read books that she first thinks anyone working in the system should read as well as visitors to The Waiting Room.  Mary's Reads:  “The Warmth of Other Suns” - Isabel Wilkerson    This is a beautifully written narrative about three black families who moved from the south to northern cities during the great migration movement of the 20th century.  Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award, this work is essential reading for Minnesotans who want to understand the challenges that African-Americans faced when they moved here, and still face today.  "Locking Up Our Own" – George Forman Jr.      This Pulitzer Prize winning book, written by the son of a prominent leader in the civil rights movement, tells the story of how black politicians (including Eric Holder), judges, and police chiefs embraced tough on crime initiatives that devastated communities of color in Washington D.C. during the war on drugs. A former public defender, James Foreman, Jr. uses his clients' stories to show how punitive these measures were.    "Locked In" – Jon Pfaff Much of what we read attributes mass incarceration to the war on drugs, but this book challenges that assumption by pointing out that even if we released everyone jailed on drug offenses, the U.S. would still have the highest incarceration rate in the world. John Pfaff focuses instead on the charging and negotiation practices of prosecutors, and demonstrates that if we are serious about reducing our prison population, we need to address sentences for violent crimes.   "Picking Cotton" – Erin Torneo, Jennifer Thompson-Cannino, and Ronald Cotton This book was written by rape victim Jennifer Thompson, and the man she wrongfully accused of attacking her, Ronald Cotton.  Cotton spent 12 years in prison before DNA revealed the true perpetrator, leading Jennifer Thompson to search for the reason her identification was wrong despite being absolutely convinced she was correct. Cotton and Thompson alternate chapters telling the story from their unique perspectives. This is an excellent book for those who want to understand how the frailties of human memory can lead determined victims and well-meaning cops to create a dynamic leading to wrongful convictions.     "Just Mercy" – Bryan Stevenson  Bryan Stevenson, founder of the Equal Justice Initiative in Alabama, movingly writes about his experiences as a black man representing poor men and women caught in an unjust system. EJI is a non-profit committed to changing the narrative about race in America. Stevenson most recently completed construction of The National Memorial for Peace and Justice, the country's first memorial dedicated to the legacy of enslaved black people. His work connects slavery to mass incarceration.    "Insane" – Alisa Roth So many people in the criminal justice system struggle with mental health issues because we have simply criminalized mental illness instead of properly funding mental health resources. Alisa Roth explains how those with mental illness have been treated since colonial times, long before people were released from asylums without a proper safety net in the 60s.  Using compelling case studies from around the country, she reveals the devastating consequences of incarceration on the mentally ill and their families, and argues for more successful and humane alternatives.    "Slavery by Another Name" – Douglas A. Blackmon Many people believe that slavery ended with the civil war, but Douglas Blackmon's book documents the forced labor of black men and women, who were jailed on made-up crimes so they could be leased to do the work of formerly enslaved people.  Blackmon writes of “Black Codes,” laws passed by legislatures to justify pretext arrests to fill the jails with people who were then leased to private corporations and landowners. This work is critical to understanding one way in which the legal system was used to sustain white supremacy.   "The New Jim Crow" – Michelle Alexander  Michelle Alexander's book connects slavery, Jim Crow, and the war on drugs as racist systems of control.  She provides historical context for policies that allowed police to operate with little oversight – stopping, searching, and seizing people of color at will.  Ms. Alexander effectively demonstrates that the war on drugs was intended to be a war on black people, whom republicans viewed as more likely to vote for democrats.  This award winning book, published in 2010, changed the way many view race and the criminal justice system.     "Charged" –  Emily Bazelon Emily Bazelon beautifully tell the stories of a teenage girl accused of murdering her mother and a young man who possessed a gun to demonstrate the relatively unchecked power prosecutors have in the criminal justice system. Prosecutors decide whether a person will be charged and with what offense.  They have complete control over whether to offer a plea negotiation, the details of which may impact the client the rest of his or her life.   "My Grandmother's Hands" – Resmaa Menakem Minneapolis therapist Resmaa Menakem writes that racism has caused physical trauma in everyone and that the path to wellness is understanding the trauma that resides deep within our bodies. Although the reasons why white, black and blue (police) bodies have experienced trauma from white supremacism differ, we will not work through our racial divide until we heal from the generational impact of trauma.  At the end of each chapter, Dr. Menakem offers exercises and practices designed to heal our bodies from trauma.    "Colony in a Nation" – Chris Hayes Journalist Chris Hayes uses the framework of a Nation and a Colony to discuss why measures of racial inequality – incarceration, income, employment, home ownership – haven't improved since 1968.  Within our Nation exists a Colony, where fear leads to aggressive policing, which infringes on civil rights.  Policing in the Colony resembles occupation, which has led to the conditions that lead to the uprisings in Baltimore and Ferguson.   "Unwarranted: Policing Without Permission" – Barry E. Friedman Barry Friedman's book outlines the problems we have created by refusing to police the police.  Illegal searches, warrantless stops, and invasive surveillance, enabled by sophisticated technology, are just a few of the issues that plague our country.  Add race and class to the mix and we need serious reform, which starts with the question, “What do we want the police to do?”     "Between the World and Me" – Ta-Neisi Coates This book is a letter to the author's 15 year old son about how to live in a black body in this country.  The death of one of Ta-Neisi Coates's classmates, at the hands of the police, caused him to reflect on this country's history of destroying black bodies. The heart of the narrative is that race is a social construct and that people who identify as white do not believe they benefit from white privilege. If they achieve what he calls the “dream,” it is because of their own abilities and efforts.      "Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI" - David Grann   David Grann's book investigates one chapter of white genocide against Native Americans.  After oil was discovered under their land, making them among the richest people per capita in the world, members of the Osage Indian Nation in Oklahoma Nation began to be murdered.  As the death toll climbed, the FBI began its first major homicide investigation, which it botched.  Although official records claim about twenty people were murdered, Grann's detailed reporting reveals hundreds of victims.  "Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How our Government Segregated America" - Richard Rothstein Richard Rothstein's book explains clearly how government policies, not individual choices, intentionally promoted residential racial segregation.  Rothstein dismantles many of the current myths about racial discrimination, such as black homeowners causing white homeowners property values to fall.  After documenting the intentional choices made by the government, Rothstein argues, contrary to the thinking of the U.S. Supreme Court, that there are constitutional remedies available to address these purposeful, discriminatory policies.

Filmmaker, writer, and teacher Trey Ellis knows how to tell a story—whatever the genre. He recently moved into documentary filmmaking, working with the acclaimed documentarian Peter Kunhardt on what became the award-winning King in the Wilderness. They joined forces again almost immediately for the documentary True Justice--about Bryan Stevenson, founder of the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI)-- which opened the 2019 AFI Docs Film Festival (a long-time National Endowment for the Arts grantee). The film looks at Stevenson's work tackling death row appeals at EJI as well as his more recent work as a public historian. Stevenson is also responsible for both the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, which commemorates the nearly 4,000 persons lynched in the south, and The Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration, which spotlights how the effects of slavery and Jim Crow reverberate through the criminal justice system today. In this podcast, Ellis talks about bringing Stevenson's work to the screen, how his approach to filmmaking changes based on the visibility of his subject, and the ways in which his films have profoundly changed his life. He also discusses writing for screen versus for the stage and the challenges of teaching screenwriting in a quickly-changing media landscape.
