brian stevenson, welcome back to the program. >> thank you. to be with you. >> you have done more than many, many people to keep memory alive and to keep history alive so that justice, perhaps, can be served. you have not one, but two incredible memorials. well, one is a memorial and one is a legacy museum opening. how hard was it to get to this point? what are you trying to say? >> well, it has been really, really challenging, but i'm incredibly excited and really proud to be creating these spaces. after the emancipation of millions of black people who were enslaved in the united states and enslaved black people, were subjected to decades of terrorism and violence through lynching and the brutality of that era has really never been acknowledged and we've been silent about it for too long, and our silence, i think, has made the continuation of racial inequality and bigs on theory a problem that we still deal with today so my motivation is to create a new record, to create a new landscape. in the american south the it's littered with the iconog

he tells his story here at the legacy museum, created by his attorney, brian stevenson. >> i think the>> reporter: the museum chronicles racial injustice from enslavement to mass incarcerati incarceration. >> the theory behind this space is really the evolution of slave slavery. slavery then becomes lynching and lynching becomes caudified desegregation. >> incarceration is the death of more people in the united states. 35% are black. the equal justice initiative states one out of ten of those sentenced to death are innocent. it's a reality hinton has experienced firsthand. >> he said, there's five things that are going to convict you. would you like to know what they are? i said, yes. >> reporter: hinton said those were the words of the detectives who arrested him when he was falsely identified for the murders of two fast food workers in 1985. >> he said, number one, you're black. number two, a white hman is goig to say you shot him. whether you shot him or not, i believe him. i don't care. number three, you're going to have a white prosecutor. number four, you're going to have a white

for this reason, you may be uniquely suited to take up an offer from brian stevenson, and activists. >> he's a great guy what is offer? do any seven politician that offer is to abolish the death penalty not because it is costly or impossible to ensure there are not any wrongful convictions but because of its relation to state sanction lynchings during jim crow. >> i agree i think we ought to not have the death penalty in america for many reasons. first of all the people usually convicted, rightly unjustly convicted are people committed heinous crimes. it's reserve from the worst of the worst. i'm not unmindful to victims and if it happened to me i'd want to kill him myself. i think that human emotion is real. the way it is administered in the united states has been so unfair and so ripped with wrongful convictions that we have killed innocent people. there's a major due process issue and stank state sanctions killing as well. >> i am rachel, thank you for being here. this is more less about the topic of your book and more about you because i can only imagine a politician so may come
