Their stories did what data alone could not.
“God said feed the people and it’s lunch time.”
In this next chapter of the Black History Month series, I had the opportunity to speak with two men involved with making of The Visiting Room Project. The Visiting Room Project’s incredible approach to shedding light on the sweeping number of individuals serving life without parole in Louisiana has undoubtedly touched many; and I can bet it will have a similar impact on you. In today’s episode you’ll hear from both a participant of the project, Everett Offray, and the man who conceived the idea for this project, Dr. Marcus Kondkar. This episode provides an opportunity for you to both learn a bit about from Everett and learn more on the reality of men imprisoned at Angola or Louisiana State Penitentiary.
As today’s call-to-action, be sure to check out The Visiting Room Project here. You can also learn more about the history of life without parole in Louisiana here and you can read up on the history of Angola here. For more information on the project, check out this article published by The Guardian here. You can follow The Visiting Room Project both on Instagram and on Twitter. Be sure to also find Everett on his Instagram here.
