DESCRIPTION:YOU’RE INVITED for an evening of community and justice to raise needed support for the inspiring work of the Southern Center for Human Rights and to celebrate the upcoming release of Demand the Impossible: One Lawyer’s Pursuit of Equal Justice for All (W.W. Norton forthcoming Mar. 2024)\, authored by Robert Tsai\, which chronicles the life and times of Stephen B. Bright. \n\n\n\nHOST COMMITTEE(in formation) \n\n\n\nDr. Janet Dewart BellCatherine ChadwickPat IrvinJoyce S. JohnsonJames Kwak and Sylvia BrandtDr. Kitty Muldoon Steel and Lewis Steel \n\n\n\nAddress Upon Confirmation \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpecial Guests \n\n\n\nRobert L. Tsai is a professor of law at Boston University School of Law\, where he teaches courses in constitutional law\, presidential leadership\, and individual rights. He is keenly interested in political culture\, legal change\, democratic design\, inequality\, and popular sovereignty. Professor Tsai is the author of three books: Practical Equality: Forging Justice in a Divided Nation (W.W. Norton 2019); America’s Forgotten Constitutions: Defiant Visions of Power and Community (Harvard 2014); and Eloquence and Reason: Creating a First Amendment Culture (Yale 2008). \n\n\n\nProfessor Tsai is finishing his fourth book\, Demand the Impossible: One Lawyer’s Pursuit of Equal Justice for All (W.W. Norton forthcoming Mar. 2024)\, that explores the life and times of Stephen Bright\, who for nearly 40 years led the Southern Center for Human Rights. SCHR’s experiences handling capital cases and prison condition suits teach us about the strategies and ideas that worked during the early decades of mass incarceration in America. \n\n\n\nStephen B. Bright has tried capital cases before juries in Alabama\, Georgia\, and Mississippi; argued four capital cases before the United States Supreme Court; and argued many other cases before state and federal appellate courts. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of his client in each case. Three involved racial discrimination in jury selection\, and the fourth involved the right to a mental health expert for a poor person facing the death penalty. He served as the director of the Southern Center for Human Rights in Atlanta from 1982 to 2005 and as its president and senior counsel from 2006 to 2016. \n\n\n\nWith Remarks From \n\n\n\nTerrica Redfield Ganzy is Executive Director of the Southern Center for Human Rights (SCHR)\, where she leads the SCHR team in carrying out its mission to dramatically transform the criminal legal system through direct representation\, impact litigation\, policy advocacy\, and public education. \n\n\n\nPrior to becoming SCHR’s Executive Director\, Terrica served in several different roles at SCHR\, most recently as Deputy Director\, helping to coordinate SCHR’s strategy and programs. Terrica also served as SCHR’s development director\, designing and leading SCHR’s development strategy and building strategic partnerships. For nine years\, Terrica served as a Staff Attorney in SCHR’s Capital Litigation Unit\, where her work focused on representing clients on death row in Georgia and Alabama. For five years\, she also served as the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL) Death Penalty Resource Counsel\, providing training and resources to capital defense attorneys throughout the nation.
