I learned that the main reason why slaves were brought to America was because white people were so dependent on the labor of other people.

The presentation was very interesting. I learned about the cruel, unjust punishments that prisoners would face, and how how exceedingly popular getting lynched had become.

I learned more about how unfairly Asian people are/were treated in the past and present and the slideshow really helped me understand how prevalent these issues are

I learned that children at the age of 13 were being tried as adults and receiving penalties such as life in prison at such a young age. On top of that, they don't even get parole.

I learned that the justice system tends to favor the rich and guilty over the poor and innocent. I was also surprised to learn that 1 out of 9 people who have received the death penalty were innocent.

The presentation was very interesting, especially when the statistics were brought up because it was way more than I thought it was. I never really looked into it before.

I really liked their presentation a lot. I learned about how we still don't even have a number for the amount of people of color that were lynched because so many of them were not heard of or discovered and there were thousands of people of color that died because of it.

# data[].attributes.headline
I learned very shocking details from the presentation. The amount of wrongly convicted execution for people of color is enormous. What was very scary is that we only know the numbers who are reported, and what is not reported could be far worse than we think.

The presentation is interesting, I learned that execution is wrong especially when the person is innocent or because of their race, and even if the people are guilty for less severe things, execution is not the answer, it just makes the system look more guilty than the criminal.

i learned how large the amount of people that were lynched

I learned a lot about how injustice is active in society today. For example, the prison system and unfair punishment.

I learned that there is not a minimum age for a kid to be tried as an adult, so there are kids as young as 13 being sentenced to life without parole.

i learned about the state of prison systems and how america treats prisoners, how they have to strive for prison reform as america often values punishment over rehabilitation.

I learned about issues that I never knew existed, like children in adult prisons. The statistics they gave were so surprising and sad  and proves how far away we are from peace and justice. I also found their presentation to be very helpful in deciphering the cause of all of this unequal justice at such a large scale.

One of the facts that stood out to me the most yesterday was that 1 out of 9 people that received the death penalty were actually innocent, and how much the justice system discriminates. I was also surprised to hear that some states have no minimum age for people to be tried as adults. I hadn't realized quite how big of an issue this still is today.

I loved the presentation! I thought it was really interesting to learn so much. The statistics that were given were especially helpful for my understanding because they were so jarring. Each one emphasized the importance of the fights  you are fighting. The EJI seems like an amazing organization to be a part of- knowing that you are doing what is right and necessary, and that you are making a difference! It was interesting to think that we are part of the organization's public education efforts- maybe we can make the world a better place too! - Leyna

I learned about the issues and injustices from the past that I wasn't completely aware of. I never knew how unfair the justice system is.This presentation has really helped me better understand these issues, and will help me become better citizen and peer. -Alex

I learned a lot about the EJI and issues they focus on,  but one thing that  stood out was the death penalty in this country; particularly how racial disparities in the criminal justice system are amplified through it. I was surprised to learn how widespread the use of  capital punishment in the U.S. is, despite it being unjust.
