Chicago Bulls hosts “Just Mercy” private screening In celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, the Chicago Bulls hosted a private screening of the recently released film Just Mercy. The film, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, and starred Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Foxx. The film is based on a book by the same name, written by public interest attorney, Bryan Stevenson. The private screening was hosted by Chicago Bulls players Kris Dunn, Denzel Valentine and Coby White. The film was followed by a post-discussion led by Xavier McElrath-Bey of Represent Justice. McElrath-Bey told his story about being incarcerated at an early age and the importance of having positive role models. He shared that he felt the justice system didn’t care about him because no one really offered to help him, rather they threw him away stating he would only become worse, judging by his juvenile record.
