At 15, Lesra Martin (BA 1988) was poor, illiterate and navigating a tough New York neighbourhood – until a group of Canadians gave him a way out. Today, he’s an acclaimed lawyer known for helping secure the freedom of Rubin “Hurricane” Carter and inspiring the Hollywood movie. Join Lesra for a conversation about overcoming obstacles and paying it forward. Participants will be able to submit questions for Lesra during the online interview.
