Just Mercy, the bestselling book by Bryan Stevenson details his work on Walker McMillian's wrongful sentence to Alabama's death row. This book will challenge your understanding of racism in America regarding crime, the media, the justice system, and the foster system. Woven together are countless depictions of people who are directly and indirectly effected by the true events in the book. Many historical events and landmark cases are referenced which give deeper understanding to the work of the Equal Justice Initiative. In my attempt to find resources that would help me keep track of the events in the book, I created this character guide and event timeline. The content for these infographics is taken from the book but is not meant to be an infringement in any way. This was strictly a personal project created with the hope that people would be inspired by the book, and be able to easily interact with the content.
The timeline shows how the various events overlap throughout the book, with multiple cases going on parallel to Walter's case (1986-1994).
