And I know the day of his release, it's the 11th, because on the 11th of every month for the last 18 years, at 8 a.m. exactly, This young man calls me and he says, hey, Mr. Bryan, just want you to know I'm doing great and I love you. Every month for 18 years. And that's the beauty that comes out of reacting, responding to injustice when we see it, abuse when we see it. And I can't quantify that.

prides itself on being the birthplace, the home place of that story. And so every year they put on a play, the streets are named after characters in the book. It's a big deal.

And we believe that led them to Mr. McMillan, not because they had any evidence of his guilt, but because Mr. McMillan had had an affair with a young white woman in the community and word had spread about that.
