“What mattered most to me wasn't whether the case would immediately get me out of prison,” writes Angel DeJesus, “What mattered was the broader shift taking place in how children were being understood to be different–and Miller was a pivotal part of that shift.”

After being condemned to die in prison at 17, Angel DeJesus came home after serving 27 years. While he did not receive direct relief through Miller, he recognizes how the decision changed the conversation in ways that eventually paved the way to freedom for him and countless others.

Did you notice the Congolese fan standing with one arm raised during every DR Congo World Cup match?

His silent action is to pay homage to the legacy of Patrice Lumumba, the revolutionary prime minister of Congo.

In a tribute to both of these men, the Peace Education Center is hosting a screening of Lumumba, an award-winning documentary on the rise to power and subsequent assassination of Patrice Lumumba.

Join us for a screening and a Q&A afterward with African Studies scholars from MSU, including John Metzler!
