Now’s your chance to catch a replay of our virtual event with local author Maurice Chammah, author of Let the Lord Sort Them.
Profiled widely this year in The New York Times and elsewhere, Let the Lord Sort Them is local author Maurice Chammah’s deeply reported, searingly honest portrait of the death penalty in Texas—and what it tells us about crime and punishment in America. We were thrilled to host Chammah and Pamela Colloff of The Texas Tribune earlier this year for a riveting, enlightening, conversation that covered the punishment’s history, as well as the cultural tug-of-war that’s played out in political campaigns, the courts, and elsewhere. You can replay the conversation between the two now on Facebook.
