Equal Justice Initiative, a non-profit organization started by lawyer and social justice activist Bryan Stevenson, is committed to ending mass incarceration and excessive punishment in the United States, to challenging racial and economic injustice, and to protecting basic human rights for the most vulnerable people in American society. Ligon was deeply inspired by Stevenson’s book "Just Mercy." When the two men met, Stevenson thoughtfully inscribed Ligon’s copy of "Just Mercy" with the words “With Hope”—an encouraging and forward-looking message that the artist borrowed to create this evocative neon sculpture.
