Building Bridges: Your Community and Labor Report
National Edition
Produced by Ken Nash and Mimi Rosenberg
****************
Do you know what it says on the death certificate for anyone who’s executed?
with
Stephen Bright, President and Senior Counsel of the Southern Center for
Human Rights, law professor who twice argued and won cases before the
United States Supreme Court, involving racial composition of the juries. He
has testified on many occasions before committees of both the U.S. Senate
and House of Representatives. His and the Center's work has been the
subject of a documentary film, "Finding for Life in the Death Belt", and two
books, "Proximity to Death" and "Finding Life on Death Row".
When they say cause of death, do you know what the word is? “It’s homicide”. Homicide!
It certainly felt like murder watching the TroyDavis hashtag tick away the last
minutes of a man’s life. The death penalty is the ultimate denial of human rights.
It is the premeditated and cold-blooded killing of a human being by the state.
While, this cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment is done in the name of
justice it violates the right to life as proclaimed in the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights. Building Bridges opposes the death penalty in all cases without exception regardless of the nature of the crime, the characteristics of the
offender, or the method used by the state to kill the prisoner. This show,
in memoriam of Troy Davis (9/21/2011), Stan “Tookie” Williams, (12/13/2005),
Dominque Green (10/26/2004), and Gary Graham a/k/a Shaka Sankofa
(6,22/2000) to name but a few victims of state executions, Stephen Bright
makes the case for abolishing the death penalty.
