What does it take to be engaged in meaningful change toward justice and equity? “We have to get proximate to people in need, wrap our arms around them, and affirm their humanity and dignity,” social activist, lawyer and author #BryanStevenson told more than 1,000 listeners from Wake Forest and the surrounding community who gathered in Wait Chapel on Feb. 23. In a @facetofacewfu student-led event, @wfulawschool, @wakeforestmed and @wakediv students asked Stevenson questions – including what inspired him to take on social justice work representing people facing execution in America’s prisons. Kenneth Townsend, Director of @leadershipandcharacter in the Professional Schools, moderated the conversation with Stevenson, who is the bestselling author of the book, “Just Mercy.”
