Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Hardcover. Whats most moving about this extraordinary book isnt Gary Tylers 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 (Wilbert Rideau, author of In the Place of Justice) memoir of a wrongful conviction and time spent on death row in Angola prison shows how incarcerated people care for each other and fight for justice.In 1975, seventeen-year-old Gary Tyler was sent to Angola prison to die. A year earlier, he had been wrongfully charged with the killing of a white teenager and found guilty by an all-white jury, making Gary the youngest prisoner on death row in the United States. Three times Gary was recommended for a pardon; three times Louisiana governors refused to accept the political risk. After more than four decades in prison, Tyler was released in 2016but 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 slaveryin effect, a legal lynching. While detailing the injustice, Garys memoir is also a remarkable story of pride, forgiveness, community, and triumph. With insight and heart, he shows how he learned to reject bitterness and fight for freedom, helped by activists such as Albert Woodfox and Herman Wallace on the inside and relentless support from a mass movement on the outside. Stitching Freedom is the page-turning narrative with which Gary reclaims his power and is a powerful testament to resilience and the transformative power of community and storytelling (Cyntoia Brown-Long, author of Free Cyntoia). "In the tradition of books by Albert Woodfox and Angela Davis, this gripping memoir of a wrongful conviction and time spent on death row in Angola prison shows how incarcerated people care for each other and fight for justice."--Provided by publisher.
