Bryan Stevenson is a Harvard-educated black lawyer who over three decades has worked to help release 115 men from death row, after proving they were prejudicially convicted. Now his nonprofit Equal Justice Initiative in Montgomery, Ala. has a new goal: to place memorial markers at some of the 4,000 lynching sites across the south. Here, Brian stands outside the building, where he has erected a sign calling attention to the site's role as a southern slave auction. (John M. Glionna/Los Angeles Times/TNS)
