An Artist’s Journey to Freedom | Indianapolis News
Description
An ex-con turned art-i-vist, Vernon T. Bateman spent 26 years in prison for a crime he swears he didn’t commit—and now he’s turning his pain into powerful children’s books and paintings designed to stop youth violence before it starts. Still wearing an ankle monitor, he’s using his voice as a paid speaker, preparing for a national art exhibit, and even reinvesting his earnings to buy back his freedom—all while preaching that love, not rage, is the true path to liberation.
