We have reached an end of an era! This is the last part of the beautiful work of art that is "When They See Us" directed by Ava DuVernay. Because most of this part focuses on Korey and what he went though as a teen in the adult prison system, it's probably the hardest episode to watch. However, his story serves as a metaphor for everyone's journey as one of the five teens persecuted because of other people's pride, prejudices, and unwillingness to challenge their own world views. Like the other Central Park 5, Korey Wise was innocent of both the crime and of the dark sides of the justice system. He goes from that innocence to the extremes of torture, but he remained strong and came out the other side as an amazing man who has more than proved that sometimes we're stronger than we think. The last 15 or so minutes of this part are so inspiring and beautiful and I hope you got to go on this journey with me so that you could see.  I would love to hear your thoughts on this miniseries if you watched it! Don't forget, the giveaway for stickers ends September 1st. All you have to do is sign up for the newsletter containing show notes and updates in a short, convenient email between now and midnight September 1st EST to enter.
