Video by @martinschoeller / Kwame Ajamu spent 28 years in prison, two years on death row, for a crime he did not commit.

“I was sitting in the holding cell in the courthouse before they brought us back to the old jail. I had got sentenced to die, and I was just 17. I’ll never forget the deputy that came to get me was an older Black man. He might have been maybe 60, 61 years old. And I never forget, he came to the cell and he looked at me and said, ‘Come on baby, I have to take you back.’ And that’s when I realized my life would change forever. Because up to that point the guards weren’t nice to nobody. But I could see the father in him, you know. I could see the hurt on his face. He was going to take this kid to a cell, and he knew they were sending him to die. I could just see it. And it radiated. I got it. I got it. I never forgot him.”
