Bryan Stevenson on Courage brings one of America’s most powerful moral voices to the Mandel Opera & Humanities Festival stage. In this keynote address, acclaimed civil rights leader, bestselling author of Just Mercy, and founder of the Equal Justice Initiative Bryan Stevenson reflects on the meaning of courage: how we confront injustice, stay proximate to suffering, and choose to hope in the face of overwhelming odds. Stevenson’s remarks will be followed by a Q&A moderated by Festival Curator Terence Blanchard, offering an extraordinary opportunity to hear directly from a visionary change-maker whose work continues to shape our national conversation on justice and humanity. The evening will also include an original spoken-word performance by Festival exhibition artist Halim Flowers.
