Gil Scott-Heron, UB40 and Deff Generation wrote songs about him. Amnesty International and investigative reporters documented the injustice he faced. Now, Gary Tyler will talk with renowned Attorney George Kendall about how he not only survived, but triumphed over the system that sent him to death row and kept him locked up for 41.5 years. Gary will pay tribute to the older incarcerated individuals who became his guardians and mentors, and share how he learned to reject bitterness and fight for freedom.

The evening marks the launch of his memoir, Stitching Freedom: A True Story of Injustice, Defiance and Hope in Angola Prison. (One Signal Publishers) RSVP REQUIRED
