Life After Death Row – With Anthony Graves

Peace and Justice Luncheon

Henry Garrett Prefunction Area

Corpus Christi, SWTX UMC Annual Conference
June 13 at Noon

Anthony Graves is known by most as death row exoneree 138.  But he is known by those close to him as a loving son, brother, father and friend taken away from them at a young age.  Anthony lost eighteen and a half years of his life when he was wrongly convicted of a brutal crime and incarcerated in Texas prisons, sixteen of those years in solitary confinement, twelve on death row, with two execution dates.  Ultimately, perseverance, faith and the tireless work of The Innocence Network and others on Anthony’s team, put enough pressure on the system from the outside, and from the inside, where Anthony remained strong.  Anthony was proven innocent.

Today Anthony Graves is an advocate for those he left behind. He speaks worldwide about his case and others like it. In the Fall of 2013, Anthony established a scholarship at the University of Texas Law School in the name of his champion Professor Nicole Casarez.  http://anthonybelieves.com/about-anthony/

Join us for this on-site luncheon.  In addition, we’ll honor the recipients of the MFSA “Building a Just Community” Awards and the SWTX Conference Peace With Justice Awards
