![The Death Penalty in Georgia and in General](images/fileicons/nodigital.png)
Date: 8/2/1996Call Number: JG/ 160BFormat: Cass BProducers: Judy GerberProgram: A Defiant HeartCollection: Programs produced by Judy Gerber and Laurie Simms
Judy Gerber plays recordings of speeches by two men Pierre Sonay, the secretary general of Amnesty International, and Steven Bright, the director for the Southern Center for Human Rights. Both men speak out against the death penalty and both choose to relate the death penalty in Georgia to the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. Less than 40 miles away from the Olympic stadium, more than 100 men were being held on death row, which is ironic because the Atlanta Olympic committee purports itself as the capital of human rights. Pierre and Bright both cite evidence that the Georgia death penalty disproportionately targets black men, re-affirming the racist nature of criminal justice in the United States.
