Stevenson in a moment. Contributions to your pbs station from viewers like you. Thank you. Im joined tonight by bryan stevenson, the founder and director of the equal justice and author of just mercy. Its about to become a film starring michael b. Jordan. Congratulations on that. Thank you. Thank you. Let me start by asking when you first became aware of this beyond vietnam speech given in this city 50 years ago tomorrow. Its interesting, i wasnt aware of it, i didnt read it until i started practicing in montgomery, alabama. My office was down the street from dr. Kings church, so i would visit there often. Just collecting some of the things he would preach on and he would talk about, i encountered his work in the 1960s after the passage of the civil rights act. It was so impressive to me that dr. King never rested on his laurels. He was not satisfied after the passing of the voters rights. He knew there was still working to done. Thats when i found the speech that he gave at riverside
