Sherry Boston on Representation and Responsibility

Sherry Boston has served as the District Attorney of DeKalb County, Georgia since 2017. But describing her just as a "local DA" doesn't capture her full impact. In addition to her work with us here at VPOPP, she's active in organizations like her state DA's association and the National Black Prosecutors Association. She's also the lead plaintiff in a major lawsuit challenging a controversial Georgia law that gives the state power to remove locally elected prosecutors. In other words, Sherry is shaping the future of how prosecution works in Georgia and across the country. This interview will give you an in-depth look into how her unique background and career path, including her experience growing up in the only Black family on her street in a white suburb, her evolution from being a defense attorney to an elected prosecutor, and how her personal background has shaped the way she approaches prosecution.
