“You see this scar on the top of my head? I got that scar in Greene County, Alabama trying to register to vote in 1964. You see this scar on the side of my head? I got that scar in Mississippi demanding civil rights. These aren’t my scars, cuts, and bruises. These are my medals of honor.”
— Bryan Stevenson, an American lawyer, social justice activist, founder of the Equal Justice Initiative, and a law professor at New York University School of Law
