ASA ASAP In early Civil Rights Activist and historian, W. E.B. Dubois's short story, "Of the Coming of
John" a black
man is considered the bearer of hopes for a community. Stevenson read the story in
college but after
meeting Walter's neighbors and family, he thinks about the story differently. Which of
the following
examples is NOT a similarity to Stevenson's autobiography Just Mercy and to Dubois's
character John's
story?
A- Pro Bono lawyers take some death penalty cases for free to pay homage to the legal system.
Stevenson and Dubois are both lawyers advocating for justice.
B - Walter's community was burdened by his conviction and would be devastated by his state-
sanctioned killing
C -Bryan Stevenson was held up in his family and church as an inspiration because of his education
and advocacy. He felt indebted to his community.
D- The community pays for John's education. When he returns as a teacher, he speaks out against
injustices done to black children. He is lynched for speaking truth to power.
