Artsy, February 1, 2021: Bryan Stevenson Believes Art Can Help Us Confront the Traumas of Racism
“Racial terrorism and white supremacy have always been a grisly reality, thinly veiled and often hiding in the shadows of the United States’s history and present. For Stevenson, that reality is confronted head-on in the remembrance of the victims of such violence, and through the work achieved by the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI).”
