Wrongful Convictions Forum

Jet, March 6, 2000

WRONGFUL CONVICTIONS FORUM: Rev. Jesse Jackson hugs former boxer Rubin "Hurricane" Carter during a "teach-in" at the Northwestern University School of Law in Chicago on wrongful convictions and the death penalty. Carter is the subject of The Hurricane, the hit movie starring Denzel Washington, that tells the story of Carter's boxing career and false imprisonment for a triple murder that he did not commit.

Carter also spoke at Cook County Jail and at Jackson's Rainbow/PUSH Coalition in Chicago.
