SUMMARY:Rap and Redemption on Death Row: Seeking Justice and Finding Purpose Behind Bars
DESCRIPTION:“What leads someone to take another’s life? What do we owe those whom we incarcerate? What is\, or what should be\, the purpose of the United States carceral system? How can the impulses that lead to violences be transformed\, and what role can art play in that transformation? Are there limits to redemption?” \nRap and Redemption on Death Row: Seeking Justice and Finding Purpose Behind Bars seeks to explore the answers to these difficult questions through the testimony of Alim Braxton (a.k.a. Rrome Alone)–a writer\, rapper\, and activist living on North Carolina’s Death Row in Raleigh. Please join COMPACT and BEJI as we welcome Alim and author Mark Katz–the John P. Barker Distinguished Professor of Music at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill–to Brandeis University for a community book release and discussion. Rap and Redemption on Death Row is digitally available for free through the Brandeis Library for faculty\, staff\, and students. \nThis event is a part of DEIS Impact 2025 and the Civic Learning and Democracy Engagement (CLDE) Coalition and Civic Learning Week.
