Young Folks and Old Fogeys, 2018

In the fall of 2018, the “Young Folks and Olde Fogeys” group discussed Bryan Stevenson’s book, Just Mercy every Sunday morning at 9:15 a.m. at Starbucks, 7th and Market, in Wilmington. According to the New York Times, “Bryan Stevenson grew up poor in Delaware. His great-grandparents had been slaves in Virginia. His grandfather was murdered in a Philadelphia housing project when Stevenson was a teenager. Stevenson attended Eastern College (now Eastern University), a Christian institution outside Philadelphia, and then Harvard Law School. Afterward he began representing poor clients in the South, first in Georgia and then in Alabama, where he was a co-founder of the Equal Justice Initiative. Just Mercy focuses mainly on that work, and those clients.” Click here to read the review in the New York Times. Photo 11/18/2018 by Danny N. Schweers.
