Description
The true story of a womanâs fight for her brotherâs lifeâand her own: âEssential for those interested in the U.S. justice systemâ (Library Journal).
On September 21, 2011, Troy Anthony Davis was put to death by the State of Georgia. Davisâs execution was protested by hundreds of thousands of people across the globe, and Pope Benedict XVI, Pres. Jimmy Carter, and fifty-one members of Congress all appealed for clemency. Davisâs older sister, Martina, a former Army flight nurse who had served in the Gulf War, was one of Davisâs strongest advocatesâdespite the fact that she was battling liver and metastatic breast cancer and died just weeks after her brotherâs death by lethal injection.
This book, coauthored by Martina and writer Jen Marlowe, tells the intimate story of an ordinary man caught up in an inexorable tragedy. From his childhood in racially charged Savannah; to the confused events that led to the 1989 shooting of a police officer; to Davisâs sudden arrest, conviction, and two-decade fight to prove his innocence, I Am Troy Davis takes us inside a broken legal system where life and death hang in the balance. It is also an inspiring testament to the unbreakable bond of family and the resilience of love, and reminds us that even when you reach the end of justice, voices from across the world can rise together in chorus and proclaim, âI am Troy Davis.â
âMartina Correiaâs heroic fight to save her brotherâs life while battling for her own serves as a powerful testament for activists.â âThe Nation
âShould be read and cherished.â âMaya Angelou, author and civil rights activist
