A really special interview from tonight. I went home to Alabama to meet Sherman Williams, who went from being an Alabama football star to Super Bowl champion to serving 15 years in prison. How he’s using that to invest in and change his community. I hope you’ll watch. W/ @bonkapp

My mother helped to integrate high schools in Alabama. She is standing with her legal team and civil rights leader John Leflore as one of 3 Black students integrating Murphy High School w/ over 3100+ white students in 1965. She is in the white coat.(left) She was only 16 yrs old.
Dad played ball w/him, my great aunt drafted speeches for him, and, for me, it was pilgrimage to bike past the house he grew up in. We took real pride in merely being proximate to him. The gift of legacy from a class act. #HankAaron#Mobile#Toulminville https://t.co/YX5wrzPMG0

It was great to be in Mecklenburg County NC yesterday w/ DA @Merriweather4DA & others learning about that county's bail reform efforts. My paper explains a recent evaluation of those efforts https://t.co/rXbPWms4F8
