Audience members will also gain a deeper understanding of the realities of wrongful conviction\, the challenges individuals face after release\, and the importance of advocacy\, education\, and community support. \nThis will be an impactful evening of conversation\, reflection\, and learning centered on truth\, perseverance\, and what it truly means to rebuild a life. \nAbout Our Speakers: \nAllah Fu-Quan is a community leader and justice advocate who transformed 28 years of wrongful incarceration into a mission of purpose.
