Film Screening and Discussion of True Justice at the National Archives

National Archives at Kansas City
Kansas City, MO

On Tuesday, February 18 at 6:00 p.m. the National Archives in partnership with Park University and the Greater KC Black History Study Group, will offer a screening of True Justice. This program will take place at the National Archives, 400 West Pershing Road, Kansas City, MO.

True Justice is an HBO-produced documentary that explores the life and most memorable cases of Bryan Stevenson, an Alabama public interest lawyer, advocate for incarcerated people and founder/executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative where he continues his decades-long effort to eradicate racial discrimination in the criminal justice system. This film sparks critical conversations about the history of racial injustice in America and compels us to confront the ways it continues to permeate American society in both obvious and covert ways.

Special note: a Hollywood produced feature motion picture film debuted in commercial theaters in December 2019 titled Just Mercy, that tells the story of Stevenson based on his own autobiography.
