New Dawn For Justice Tour premieres in Atlanta, GA to restructure the criminal justice system
Angela Stanton-King has one of the most nationally recognized
inspirational stories ever shared. After a troubled upbringing, Stanton-King ended up a young mother serving a non-violent prison sentence while pregnant with her fifth child. Stanton-King recalls being chained to a bed as she gave birth, a memory that will never leave her and has motivated her to be a voice for criminal justice reform. Stanton-King has gone from being a former felon to being a best-selling author, congressional political candidate and most importantly a celebrated voice for her community. Stanton-King partnered with award-winning filmmaker Qwantay โBoscoโ Adams and activist Lionell โTJโ Tillman on a criminal justice reform tour titled, โA New Dawn for Justiceโ. The tour will debut in Atlanta, GA on Saturday, May 4, 2024 at 450 Auburn Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30312 at 6PM – 9PM.
