Injustice Town: A Corrupt City, a Wrongly Convicted Man, and a Struggle for Freedom | An Evening with Author Rick Tulsky

Lamonte McIntyre was 17 when he was convicted of a double murder in Kansas City, Kansas, a case in which every part of the criminal justice system failed. Injustice Town recounts the battle that, 23 years later, not only led to his exoneration but exposed and toppled the corrupt establishment that long had ruled the city.

It is our privilege to host JRC member and Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist and co-founder of Injustice Watch, Rick Tulsky for an intimate conversation about his critically acclaimed book, Injustice Town.

Rick Tulsky, a Pulitzer prize-winning journalist, goes beyond the courthouse, exposing the ways in which corruption flourished for decades in an erstwhile quiet Midwest town, a town once dedicated to justice and equality. A lawyer by training as well as a reporter, Tulsky’s narrative not only brings Lamonte’s story to vivid life, it will empower cities, counties, states, and everyday citizens with a blueprint for equal justice. At a time when the federal government is abdicating its responsibility for demanding fairness and justice, it is up to states, local governments, and we the people look to ways they can act. Vivid and unforgettable, Injustice Town tells the story of one man and shows us a vision of what a better future could be.
