Anthony Ray Hinton will grace the stage at the Arizona Financial Theatre as part of the highly acclaimed Arizona Speaker Series. He might not be one of the names that resonate with people just by looking at the poster. That's mainly because this man wasn't necessarily involved in politics and "public life" in general, like some of the other speakers. Yet, he's got a story and a perspective on life that's worth listening to.

We don't want to give out too many spoilers, but Anthony Ray Hinton was on death row for 30 years for a crime he did not commit. He was blamed by a detective who knew he hadn't committed the crime, but also understood that the system would convict him. If this were a Hollywood script, you'd think the writers went too far! As mentioned, this is a story that's worth a listen. Hit that "Buy Tickets" link to be at the Arizona Financial Theatre to hear it live.

Anthony Ray Hinton Promises to be One of the Most Impactful Speakers of the Series

"I don't care whether you did or didn't do it. In fact, I believe you didn't do it. But it doesn't matter. If you didn't do it, one of your brothers did. And you're going to take the rap."

Those are the words that the detective who worked on Anthony Ray Hinton's case allegedly told him. The man would go on to say that a white jury would convict him because he had allegedly killed a white man, among other references to blatant racism in the judicial system. That's just half of Anthony Ray Hinton's story, though, but it's important for audience members at this talk to understand the context.

Covering Rough Topics Without Sugar Coating Elements

If you're planning on attending this event, understand that the racial undertone of the story is going to be heavily present. However, these talks by Anthony Ray Hinton aren't just about trashing the cops or the legal system. They include his personal and spiritual journey as a man on death row! That part of the story gives out wisdom that anyone can apply. Large or small, everyone goes through injustices in life. Having at least a sense of how to turn a massive negative into a positive could impact anyone. That's certainly one of the gems about this story that folks who attend have the potential to take home.
