NY Diocese Anti-Racism committee presents a free, Zoom webinar featuring Ian Manuel author of My Time Will Come: A Memoir of Crime, Punishment, Hope, and Redemption.

Ian tells his story of hope. Sentenced at age 14 to life in jail without parole, he spent 27 years in jail, 18 of which were in solitary confinement. Through the Equal Justice Initiative, his sentence was overturned and he was released. Ian’s talents and persistent sense of purpose gave him the strength to survive and to thrive. Join us to hear this powerful voice.

“In My Time Will Come: A Memoir of Crime, Punishment, Hope, and Redemption, Manuel takes readers through his equally wrenching and inspiring story, from his upbringing as a poor Black kid from Florida, to the violent incident that changed the trajectory of his life, to the story of his redemption. With a foreword by Equal Justice Initiative founder Bryan Stevenson, Manuel’s memoir leaves a powerful impact and emphasizes the strength of human resolve and kindness through the most upsetting circumstances.” For more about Mr. Manuel, click here
