Author Anthony Ray Hinton Meet and Greet, Conversation

The AUM Office of Diversity & Inclusion is hosting a Meet the Author and Conversation with Anthony Ray Hinton.

Hinton is the author of New York Times bestseller The Sun Does Shine, which chronicles Hinton’s 1985 arrest and wrongful conviction of the murders of two fast food managers. In 2015, he was exonerated after spending 29 years on Alabama’s death row.

At the book club meeting, Hinton will share a vivid portrait of his journey to freedom, the legal system, and how his faith sustained him on death row.
