Susan Burton Biography
With decades of experience and expertise with the criminal justice system, first as a victim, then as an activist and advocate for the lives and communities of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people everywhere, Susan Burton is an inspiring and transformational speaker. Personal experience has taught Burton that incarceration is a tale of two systems: one in which some are granted grace and the other in which people are condemned. Burton aspired to offer her community in South Central Los Angeles the same resources and opportunities available to those in more affluent communities. Recognizing that racism, classism, and sexism governed the world Burton worked to create a more just system through the founding of A New Way of Life in 1998.
A New Way of Life Reentry Project (ANWOL) is dedicated to offering meaningful community-based resources that enhance and empower the lives and communities of those impacted by incarceration. From its humble beginnings providing safe, clean, long-term housing to 10 women out of a bungalow in Watts, California, ANWOL has expanded its services to offer pro bono legal services, family reunification support, leadership training, workforce development, and public policy advocacy. ANWOL has provided housing to over 1,200 formerly incarcerated women, helped reunite 400 women with their children, provided pro bono legal services to 3,400 community members with conviction histories, and more.
Burton has earned numerous awards and honors for her work. In 2010, she was named a CNN Top Ten Hero and received the prestigious Citizen Activist Award from the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. She is a recipient of both the Encore Purpose Prize (2012) and the James Irvine Foundation Leadership Award (2014). In 2015, on the 50th Anniversary of Selma and the Voting Rights Act, Burton was named by the Los Angeles Times as one of eighteen new civil rights leaders in the nation. Released in 2017, her memoir, "Becoming Ms. Burton," received a 2018 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work in the category of Biography/Autobiography. "Becoming Ms. Burton" is also the recipient of the inaugural Goddard Riverside Stephan Russo Book Prize for Social Justice. In 2019, Burton received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from California State University, Northridge.
