 <\/p>\n

In late January, as part of the annual board retreat of the ELCA Association of White Lutherans for Racial Justice, I moved attentively through the Legacy Museum<\/a>, established in Montgomery, Ala., by the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI). With my mind spinning from its stark and stimulating exhibits, which present the history of white supremacy from slavery to segregation to mass incarceration, I entered the final exhibit hall to see a familiar face: that of Anthony Ray Hinton. My heart leaped in instant recognition, with a mix of lament and joy.<\/p>\n

I had learned about Hinton when I first visited Montgomery in 2016 as part of a multistate civil rights tour, meeting with veterans of the movement and visiting such important sites as the EJI offices. Staff members there explained the initiative\u2019s work challenging injustice in the legal system, through both legal representation and policy advocacy. Their remarks expanded what I had learned from the book Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption<\/em>, whose author, Bryan Stevenson, is founder and executive director of the EJI.<\/p>\n

Due to mistaken identity, Anthony Ray Hinton was wrongly convicted of two murders and spent 30 years on death row. Ultimately EJI secured his release. Most poignant to me was a video that covered Hinton\u2019s reentry into society: the scope of the years taken from him was shown by his learning to use technology unavailable before he was incarcerated \u2014 not a cell phone, not satellite radio, but an ATM. An ATM! As soon as Hinton\u2019s book, The Sun Does Shine: How I Found Life, Freedom, and Justice<\/em>, was published in 2019, I read it and reflected anew on the challenges his story revealed about the criminal justice system.<\/p>\n

When I saw Hinton\u2019s face in a museum display, he gazed at me from a row of visitation carrels. He wore prison scrubs and sat in a stark room. I approached the display, lifted a phone handset from the wall and listened as Hinton briefly recounted his story, his gaze never breaking from mine. His visual state contrasted with my knowledge of his freedom, and I thought again of him learning to use the ATM.<\/p>\n

I continued around the room, stopping to hear from others. I listened intently to Kuntrell Jackson, who shared how his sentencing to life in prison at age 14; EJI would later represent him before the Supreme Court in a case that would overturn mandatory life sentences for children<\/a>. Monica Washington told me about her sexual assault by a prison guard<\/a>; EJI\u2019s complaint would lead to a federal investigation of widespread abuse and to prosecutions of corrections staff. Hinton, Jackson and Washington were just three of the people whose stories were shared in the exhibit and for whom EJI has advocated.<\/p>\n

The retreat weekend was both intense and inspiring. In addition to the museum, we visited EJI\u2019s National Memorial for Peace and Justice, which commemorates of racial terror lynchings that began in the South at the end Reconstruction. These visits renewed my lament at the way white supremacy has dehumanized others, disregarding their creation in the image of God. However, the visit also inspired hope, even amid backsliding government policies designed to protect the rights of marginalized communities.\u00a0 Encounters with history provide us with models of courage and strategy by leaders. The work of EJI shows the possibility of contemporary nonprofit and other collective efforts to promote change. Hinton\u2019s story likewise stands at the crossroads of two legacies: one of disregard and violence, the other of advocacy and hope.<\/p>\n
