The death penalty’s history in the United States is long and complicated. Allowed unabated for centuries, the death penalty came under intense scrutiny in the 1970s when the Supreme Court overturned it by stating that it was not applied constitutionally. Georgia, the originating state of the case, made changes to its death penalty statutes and then went back to court, winning a reversal.

Since 1976, anti-death penalty advocates have argued continuously for an end to this inhumane practice. Anti-death penalty activists come from a variety of backgrounds and believe in the abolition of the death penalty for a number of reasons, including the innocence factor and and the prevalence of racism and classism in the justice system.
