Just Mercy Selected as Forum Book
Last year, Simpson University faculty members launched a common reading program open to all students, faculty, staff, and alumni as well as to local community members. Called On the Same Page, the program is designed to align with the university's mission to "develop the mind, faith and character" of students through reading, critical thinking, and community conversation.
This year's book, Just Mercy, investigates themes of justice, race, class activism, and grace, and asks provocative questions about the way these themes apply to our legal system.
