Bryan Stevenson Lawyer, Author
Believe

"Living in Montgomery, I've been antagonized by the emergence of a narrative about our history that I believe is quite false and misleading, and actually dangerous.

And there's great pride in the Alabamians of the nineteenth century."

"In Burma, we have only about four percent of the people in our country who are (college) graduates. So can we not value the majority? No, we must.
