Bryan Stevenson: We need to talk about an injustice

If technology and design weren’t enough to earn respect Steve Jobs and Apple wouldn’t be lionized while their products were made under the widely reported conditions at Foxconn. If the arc of the universe bends towards justice it’s only because people like Mr. Stevenson are dedicating their lives to counteract the forces that at best are agnostic about justice but otherwise induce injustice.
