Willie Green grew up in Canton, Mississippi, and he never saw any
white people unless he went across the railroad tracks. But his
mother's best friend was white, and whenever they met, they pressed
their hands together. This simple act showed him that everyone
could get along-something that would stay with him when the Civil
Rights Movement swept through the nation. But after helping a
cousin move his things out of a girlfriend's place-things that in
fact, belonged to her-Green was arrested for burglary. When that
same girl ended up dead, he was convicted of murder. He'd end up
spending twenty-five years in prison-most of them in San
Quentin-after a witness who had been high on cocaine and pressured
by police blamed him for the crime. Green would not be freed until
2008, after the witness set the record straight. He looks back on a
life defined by unexpected turns, race relations, his despair while
on death row, and how he found hope and freedom in Just to Be Free.
