In "The Death of Innocents: An Eyewitness Account of Wrongful Executions," author Sister Helen Prejean talks about her first-hand experiences witnessing the execution of Dobie Gillis Williams in 1999 and Joseph Roger O'Dell in 1997, how poor people are primarily affected by wrongful executions, and why the execution of Michael Morales was postponed indefinitely in 2006 and led to a moratorium on capital punishment in California. This third discussion with the author took place on a 2006 episode of "Conversations On The Coast with Jim Foster" originating in San Francisco, California. Photo: sisterhelen.org

For Mamie Till Mobley, Portrait of Emmett Till, 2017, by Ify Chiejina. This piece is currently being shown at the Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning , @jcal_org. I'm thankful for the space and time I had to work during my residency. "Thankfully, Emmett has helped to steer me in my lifelong odyssey. He does still. I often hear his voice guiding or chiding, the voice of a boy much older than his years. In fact, as I began discussions for this book, I sat down at my kitchen table, my workplace. As I sometimes do, I asked that a trifold picture frame of images of Emmett and me be taken down from atop the china hutch in my living room and placed on the table in front of me. I focused on my son while I considered this book. I scanned the pictures that portrayed a life from infancy through boyhood into adolescence. I prayed and asked for help in making this important decision. The result is in your hands. Now, only now, I can share the wisdom of my age. I am experienced, but not cynical. I've been disappointed by so many of the people I've trusted over the years, but still I am hopeful that we all can be better than we are. I've been brokenhearted, but I still maintain an oversized capacity for love." --- Till-Mobley, Mamie, and Chris Benson. Death of innocence: the story of the hate crime that changed America.
