I agree with Arch Bishop Tutu. Stevenson is a young Mandela

Yes, I just listened to it. He was an interesting guest, a good man by the sounds of it.

Mishap - a U.S. lawyer who specialises in death row cases. His great grandparents were slaves. He was so thoughtful, wise and dignified

I listened for the 2nd time this morning as I had enjoyed it so much last Sunday. Very inspiring, and I liked his choices.

I read the book he wrote about his work a while ago - "Just Mercy". It was rivetting and heartbreaking in equal measure. It also made me hang my head in shame.

So impressed by him on Desert Island Disks and I didn't know about him before.
