Montana State University students urged to join fight against injustice

A civil rights attorney who dedicated his life to fighting for death row inmates spoke to more than 6,000 people at Montana State University on Thursday night, urging students to create a world with greater justice.

MSU President Waded Cruzado welcomed Bryan Stevenson as this year’s Freshman Convocation speaker. Nearly 3,000 new students, plus 3,400 parents and community members attended the event in the Brick Breeden Fieldhouse.

Stevenson, 57, a Harvard-educated lawyer, wrote the bestselling memoir "Just Mercy." Incoming MSU freshmen were asked to read the book before arriving on campus so they can discuss it in freshman seminars.
