Five years later, we’ll share where the work stands today, Julius' work behind the scenes honoring the people that saved his life!

About this Event

rec·la·ma·tion (noun): 1. Taking back what was lost or taken. 2. Restoring something to its rightful place and purpose.

The Reclamation Dinner brings together JJI alumni from all four cohorts, our coalition partners and community leaders for an evening about Julius and the work carried out in his name. This will be during Julius Jones Week

We’ll begin where it started, with the people who stood up when his life was on the line. More than 6 million people signed Julius’s petition, supporters walked from Oklahoma City to McAlester, and on November 18, 2021, together they helped save his life. Hundreds of students walked to the Capitol!

We’ll share where the work for Julius began, where it stands today and what Julius does behind the scenes with JJI. The evening includes dinner, a screening of Crime and Punishment in America, the new PBS documentary series directed by Lynn Novick, and community awards honoring the people who were pivotal in saving his life. This evening is part of Justice & The Next 250, a national campaign of The Just Trust.
