Recent sightings: Just Mercy
Attorney Bryan Stevenson, whose book “Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption” is this year’s selection for Go Big Read, visited campus Oct. 26. The selection of Stevenson’s book about racial inequality and the need for justice system reform prompted record participation in UW–Madison’s common-reading program. More than 170 courses are using it this semester, in disciplines including business, education, English, history, law, nursing, political science and social work.
