Oprah and author Anthony Ray Hinton on "The Sun Does Shine"

[@juliekelley9433]

I just finished reading this book, tears are absolutely flowing from my eyes. The level of injustice and racism documented in Hinton's book has made me drop to my knees. Everyone needs to read this book. What Hinton experienced is beyond comprehension and an absolute travesty. We have a lot of work to do in America and within the justice system. Racism and injustice must stop! I can not express the amount of respect and admiration I have for Mr. Hinton. His grace, faith, and trust in God are an inspiration to many. May God richly bless this beautiful man!

[@fnihp30]

Julie Kelley Very well said!

[@judy4all]

Cried all damn day reading this book!

[@garybrnt87]

You are so right. After reading this book you will value your time each in every day.

[@rosalynw.otieno1994]

It’s every day in the criminal justice system. Every single day, my friend.😥

[@adrianocavalcanti298]

I’ve just finished reading the book. It is so outrageous and inhumane what Ray had to go through. This feeling of injustice towards blackpeople, gay people, and so on is one of that I have often felt in Brazil for being both black and gay. I couldn’t hold my tears after reading about Ray being set free and read more and more about Lester’s loyalty and friendship with Ray. This was one of the happiest moments in my life reading a book.

[@p.3914]

Well done Ray! One of the best true story books I ever read. God knows how many times I cried, this book is very touchy made me emotional. This book shows you how broken and biased system we have. Sometimes, I felt I was with him in prison. I can't imagine how hard is on Ray to not only lost 30 years of his age; but also how hard could be in a death row. I admired Ray's strength, help hope all these years and how he forgave his enemies. I love it , I love it, I love it.... May God bless the rest of his life , Lester and Bryan. Lester is an example of a true friend. I would say, may be we can find a person like Lester one in a Billion.

[@victoriaoladapo7017]

Something that was meant to destroy turned into something so beautiful. We can learn so much from this beautiful soul!

[@sharonmickey4566]

This is why players take a knee.......

[@Sttephy30]

Exactly.

[@whatslifemartinez3076]

How pathetic that 30 years ago racism was so Ok ... and until now people are taking a Stand

[@edglebennett6312]

SAY IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my God u gonna make me cry up in here.

[@Lina4peace]

yep

[@sherenay3109]

We'll continue to take a knee until change comes.

[@Eee-le6rk]

I always say the truth is stranger than fiction this man deserves many blessing. Boy what integrity conquering the evil with the good.

[@blackrose9851]

He needs to be compensated generously for this. He needs to live without any form of financial struggle.

[@sonyapetty9942]

His life nor being incarcerated won't be in vain. His story is going to heal, help and set those in prison free(cases re-opened). Greater things for you Mr. Hinton! I see your compassion and your heart. I will be getting your book and Continued blessing in your life. Thank you Oprah!! #imfreetogotomaui

[@fnihp30]

Sonya Petty I believe that as well. God has a plan for that gentleman. The devil meant what he went through for evil, but God allowed him to go “through” that situation for his good.

[@beantianja]

the spirit of grace an d kindness with no bitterness, "bitterness kills the soul"

[@mohrjazzy]

I just bought the book. I want to support Mr. Hinton and the telling of his story!

[@marymarks7046]

An issue that is not being addressed is how the criminal justice system will not back down when they know they have falsely accused a human being of a crime he/she did not commit. They will keep pushing forward and make up things that are not true and hold onto it like it is the truth. God bless this man all those who have been falsely accused.

[@eventplanner461]

Say it again for the people in the back! They would rather make up lies than admit they made a mistake.

[@Sheilawyer]

Lester is the real MVP 🙌🏾💞

[@khulekilezungu9644]

Sheilawyer true

[@jbill7808]

Sheilawyer he is a very nice guy! He comes to my dad church sometimes

[@humbertotovar695]

It was Dr. Martin Luther King Day...few weeks ago...year 2018...I asked one of my students what were we commemorating today, and the answer was "I don't know"...then I asked, "Who was Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.", and the answer was: " l had no idea"...Don't get me wrong...this was a language adult class in the USA....My student was not an illiterate person but a corporation top executive. Seeing this interview made understand many things about civil rights and the history of the USA.

[@rachaelkibuku6512]

I bought the book. it's it a sad story written in hilarious way. Ray has taught me forgiveness and resilience. God bless Him and keep him from all sorts of harm and danger

[@whatslifemartinez3076]

Definitely a Book is worth paying for!!

[@roxanaalvarez1543]

Just finished the book. It was fantastic .I would like to read more about his new found freedom.

[@charleshervey3685]

Oprah this sound like a tv series called black justice.

[@msnutrients9399]

Just SICKENING to think of human beings, sworn to PROTECT & SERVE, who intentionally and maliciously prosecute an innocent person and have absolutely no remorse! So grateful for his FREEDOM and loyal supporters. . . . GOD BLESS you Mr. Hinton! Praying for the countless innocent inmates still behind prison walls.

[@amymorton1809]

Miss Oprah, again I'm saying THANK YOU... I will buy this book tonight. Looking forward to your Facebook live in late June. Bless you all.

[@freedomhiker_ca3075]

[@fruitofthespiritgalatians5856]

Going out to buy today.

[@denicecantu8647]

Me too. Just got this on amazon. Haven't even read it and I've got tears in my eyes.

[@MrStrikemasterice]

Only in Alabama. Hearing stories like this makes me so fricken mad.

[@fnihp30]

Daniel F Unfortunately, situations like this occur in other states of the union as well, not only in Alabama.

[@renciat971]

I would like every person who believes that people of colour should just move on... and "get over it". To listen to this story... to realize how racism can affect and is affecting so many.... It still makes my skin crawl how a person can hate another human so much.. I was born the year he had been convicted... if i had been borne to his generation, I fear my fate would not have been any different to his.

[@romelcampbell4860]

I live in NYC and I know how police always framing people, one night White police officers lack me for nothing, So I can relate to your story Sir

[@TexasBorn_TexasRaised]

2:50 Funny how life is. On one hand we worry about our appearance whilst other's are just happy to be alive and free!

[@rachaelkibuku6512]

Imagine. I had to repent for all my murmuring and disgruntledness

[@janetclark9831]

I loved this book. Have tissues close by for the final 40 pages.

[@chelleweatherspoon2226]

Thank you Gale and Oprah for sharing this amaxing man's triumph. I'm so glad God revealed this before he died for something he did not do.

[@kebimalebye8870]

Wowww this is another Nelson Mandela, getting out of prison without hate for people who put him there. 👍🏽👌🏽

[@marycyr1331]

His one wish is that every child has a mother like he had

[@Papillon_2010]

Make a movie, Oprah and let even more people see the travesty that Alabama conspired to commit on this innocent man. This is despicable.

[@lauraorta1003]

I can't stop cry...... IAM SO SORRY.

[@lightraveler333]

Thanks to Oprah for this story❤

[@margueriteauten2206]

I think what they did to this man is totally disgusting these Are not people they are animals to do that to an innocent human being God bless you sir I would love to shake this mans hand and apologize for the injustice that was done to him and sir if you are reading this I am truly sorry from the bottom of my heart for this disgusting act that you had endured God bless you

[@aminahrolsdorph8551]

What a beautiful soul.. How Shamefull Racism.. I am going to try find the Book. Listening from Egypt Praying The Lord Will compensate in mysterious Ways.. & Free All innocent Prisons..

[@rosalynw.otieno1994]

Tons.

[@Lola-seven]

This is so sad.It is better for a guilty person to be unfound than to unjustly jail an innocent person.I cant even imagine how he feels as 30years is a lifetime! Can't we all just get along??

[@tozomona]

much respect

[@marsharowaihy6725]

I want the state of Alabama to make this man a million aire

Is it just me or this man actually sounds like Steve Harvey...!

He does

Those 5 things he listed... THIS IS AMERICA 🤔

[@inesdelahoya2045]

Miss Oprah & Miss Gayle now openly coordinate colours... How interesting. (!)

[@lightraveler333]

Ines De La Hoya And trust me that was not a coincidence, because they are besties, for style or a fashion statement. Yellow, the color of sunshine, hope, and happiness, has conflicting associations. On one hand yellow stands for freshness, happiness, positivity, clarity, energy, optimism, enlightenment, remembrance, intellect, honor, loyalty, and joy, but on the other, it represents cowardice and deceit. Wearing this color was Symbolic. The Sun is yellow As in his book "The Sun does Shine. And on the opposite end of the spectrum are those involved in the deceit that lead to this appalling story! God Bless Him and let it come right back around to them.

[@charleshervey3685]

Where is the best place to purchase the book?

[@janethockey9070]

Charles Hervey Amazon

[@djohn515]

I love Gail she’s so real

[@p.jjhullur6717]

If they let innocent people free our jails will be empty. In this case, very few justice system will be going home with a paycheck.

[@normanrodriguez2504]

I really recommend reading this book. It is an amazing true story that shows how rotten the American system of justice is and why the death penalty should be abolished>

[@tulayamalavenapi4028]

I'm reading it right now... About ½way through. Blessings. Hare Kṛṣṇa.

Mr Hinton in jail for long time no reason no justice in america shame low life justice system where is human right in america

[@seleneselene6151]

Profound story! Great to see more and more people are reading this ♥️ In the The Sun Does Shine, Anthony lists everyone currently on death row and mentions 1/10 is innocent. One of those names is Clinton Young. If you enjoyed TSDS and are interested in learning more about the flaws of the 'justice' system, I HIGHLY recommend the documentary Innocent on Death Row about the Clinton Young case: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6bVfpiZrc6CY9U

[@Esi153]

This is why the prison system is likened to slavery. They didn't care that he was innocent. He was black and they needed to put someone in jail. God only knows how many more people there are 💔

[@WamuyuGatheru]

Lousy video 😀. Great story. Gayle you shouldn't touch the man's leg - it's a breach of his personal space

[@HeatherHotcakes]

Wamuyu Gatheru Not everyone has personal space issues. Human touch is a way to comfort and soothe others. In fact, a lot of research on children and the elderly indicates that a lack of physical touch can lead to many psychological issues.

[@m.m.9875]

Wamuyu Gatheru I cringed each time Gayle touched this man's knee. After a dozen times, I stopped counting. It was excessive -- it was very improper and on a few occasion she actually rested her hand on his thigh....not simply tapping him. Clearly, it's more about WHERE she touched him and less about human touch.

[@JustManuelT]

Wamuyu Gatheru Dam! that's what you focused on SMDH

[@TiMalice2009]

I noticed that as well. Men are sensitive there too.
