Stitching Freedom
Stitching Freedom by Gary Tyler is a powerful memoir of survival, solidarity, and resistance from one of the youngest people ever sentenced to death in the United States. Wrongfully convicted at just 17 and sent to Angola prison in 1975, Tyler spent over four decades behind bars for a crime he didn’t commit.
