In 1983 Renaldo Hudson was convicted of murder and sentenced to death. 37 years later, including 13 years on death row, Renaldo was liberated.Renaldo has told his story of transformation many times in his current role as Education Director for The Illinois Prison Project. And now, for the first time since his release in 2020 Renaldo shares how hope is sparked from the darkest of moments, reflecting on what it took to shake him sober. Renaldo will take us on a journey from being disinvited to a birthday party on death row to sitting in a room with the Governor of Illinois. Renaldo’s clemency that granted him freedom was awarded based on his petition- a story that was not litigated, rather, a story that was simply told and heard.
