Anthony Ray Hinton, born on May 5, 1955, in Alabama, would become a powerful symbol of wrongful incarceration and resilience. Hinton spent nearly 30 years on death row for crimes he did not commit. After a lengthy legal battle, he was exonerated in 2015. His story, later chronicled in his memoir The Sun Does Shine, highlights systemic racism in the criminal justice system and the importance of perseverance and hope.
