Community Speaks for August 26, 2024

The “Exonerated Five” also known as ‘the Central Park Five’.

The group of Black and Latino men were just teenagers over 30 years ago when they were convicted of the brutal assault and rape of a white female jogger at Central Park in Manhattan, New York City. Korey Wise and Yusef Salaam, now an elected Harlem Councilman, spoke at the Democratic National Convention last week and said Fourty-five wanted them dead. He took out a full page ad in The New York Times calling for their execution. He still has not apologized for his hateful campaign against The Exonerated.

Hear highlights of some of the other notable speakers at the Democratic Convention.
