A propos de cet article

?What?s most moving about this extraordinary book isn?t Gary Tyler?s innocence, but his resilience and steadfast commitment to justice for all in a system designed to oppress, divide and destroy.? ?Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow In the tradition of books by Albert Woodfox and Angela Davis, this ?riveting?

After more than four decades in prison, Tyler was released in 2016?but he was never exonerated. This is not a story of mistaken identity or circumstantial evidence, but one of systemic injustice from an institution hard-wired into a legacy of slavery?in effect, a legal lynching. While detailing the injustice, Gary?s memoir is also a remarkable story of pride, forgiveness, community, and triumph.

(Cyntoia Brown-Long, author of Free Cyntoia).…
