[accordion title=”From the Director”]
The playwrights of The Exonerated, Jensen and Blank, have chosen a thoughtful and succinct dedication to their play:
For the exonerated
and for those who are still waiting
I would like to add to those sentiments by offering a heartfelt thank you to the folks here at the University of Michigan who have dedicated their life’s work to fixing the flaws in our justice system:
David Moran and his colleagues at the Michigan Innocence Clinic, and Ashley Lucas and her colleagues at the Prison Creative Arts Project.
