Ted Talk With Bryan Stevenson
Click below to watch Bryan Stevenson's Ted Talk, " We need to talk about an injustice ". He is the founder and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative , fighting poverty and challenging racial discrimination in the criminal justice system.

"In an engaging and personal talk -- with cameo appearances from his grandmother and Rosa Parks -- human rights lawyer Bryan Stevenson shares some hard truths about America's justice system, starting with a massive imbalance along racial lines: a third of the country's black male population has been incarcerated at some point in their lives. These issues, which are wrapped up in America's unexamined history, are rarely talked about with this level of candor, insight and persuasiveness." Click here .
