"Music is sometimes the thing that allows you to stand up when people say sit down, it's a thing that allows you to speak when people say be quiet. There’s a power in it." — Bryan Stevenson, Founder of Equal Justice Initiative, in conversation with EC’s Founder and President Laurene Powell Jobs at The New Orleans Book Festival. Bryan spoke about the music he loves—jazz, gospel—and the critical role music plays in movements for a more just society. You can see the entire conversation here: https://lnkd.in/eDAAvvDw
