“In the United States we are utterly incapable of reflecting honestly on our history and the things that we do wrong. We confuse pride and support for America with the notion that we can never apologize, never acknowledge our defects. And we are suffering because of it. At the Equal Justice Initiative we are working to change the narrative of race and poverty in this country.” (Bryan Stevenson)

“Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.” (Albert Einstein)

“The presumption of guilt that we assign to people of color, black or brown, is a legacy of our failure to tell the truth about our racial history. It is a result of the fact that we never had a truth and reconciliation process like they had in South Africa or in Rwanda. I firmly believe that until we tell the truth about this history, we will not recover, we will not move forward. The basic human-rights violations are too grave and too overwhelming to just evaporate. They create traces and shadows and cuts and injuries that we cannot ignore. If we do, they will fester.” (Bryan Stevenson).
