Finding freedom after life on death row
Anthony Ray Hinton mesmerized a capacity crowd at Furman’s McAlister Auditorium Feb. 27 with his account of enduring nearly 30 years on Alabama’s death row for crimes he did not commit. Among the media represented at the event was Furman’s own Sarah Bourlakas ’19, an English major from Roanoke, Virginia, who is also minoring in women’s and gender studies. An intern for the Greenville Journal, Bourlakas wrote about the man who now speaks on behalf of the Equal Justice Initiative.
