More Than Just A Good Read

Almost two years ago, Troy Davis was executed in Georgia despite significant doubt about his guilt. Nearly a million people across the globe spoke out about his case. His name became synonymous with the broken death penalty system.

EJUSA is excited to announce a new book, I Am Troy Davis, co-authored by Jen Marlowe and Davis’ sister Martina Davis-Correia, that tells Davis’ story in more intimate detail than ever before: from his childhood in racially charged Savannah; the confused events that led to the 1980 shooting of police officer Mark MacPhail; and Davis’ sudden arrest, conviction, and two-decade fight to prove his innocence.

EJUSA is partnering with Amnesty International USA and the book I Am Troy Davis to release a discussion and study guide that invites you to not just read the book, but to engage in a meaningful way in the issues it raises.

If you are part of a book club or other group like a church or school group, now is the time to get the I Am Troy Davis book and Study Guide on the agenda.

You can order a copy of the book here. To request a copy of the study guide when it is available, sign up here.
