Bryan Stevenson's TED Talk on Injustice

This talk will certainly keep my batteries going in our work for justice-involved youth.

http://www.ted.com 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.

My Favorite Quote: we are always more than the worst thing we've ever done.
