The Redemption of Stanley (Tookie) Williams
Stanley (Tookie) Williams was the leader of the Crips in south central LA. He's been on death row for 23 years. While in jail, he became an anti-gang activist, wrote children's books and was nominated by a member of the Swiss Parliament for the Nobel Prize. In 1999, he was visited by Winnie Mandela.
Williams is hoping for a reprieve. Watch the movie about him tonight, Redemption, on FX, starring Jamie Foxx. FX, Sunday at 8 p.m., Eastern and Pacific times; 7, Central time.
