The wrongful conviction of the 'Central Park Five'

Donald Trump's 'Horrific' Response to the Central Park Five Case,

Trump Won't Apologize to "Central Park 5" | The View

Trump refuses to apologize.

Same ****, 4 years later... *yawn*

Yeah, yawn!!!!! How long were those boys held in prison before DNA proved they were not guilty??? hohoho hohohoho whoops.

Some of these Central Park thugs favor the wrongful lynching of Amy Cooper.

I can't see why anyone who wants to lynch an innocent person deserves any sympathy when they get a dose of their own medicine.

Their story is the story of thousands more over the history of this nation, both recent and past.

Exonerated 'Central Park Five' Survivor Dr. Yusef Salaam on Black Trauma.

Dr. Yusef Salaam was imprisoned as a member of the Central Park Five, a group of Black and Hispanic teenagers who were falsely charged and convicted of an attack on a jogger in Central Park.

Though much of the public called for their execution, including future President Donald Trump, the Central Park 5 were eventually exonerated and have shared their experience as a warning against systemic police racism and police brutality, as seen in the documentary series When They See Us.

As the Black Lives Matter comes to the forefront in the wake of the killing of George Floyd, protests throughout the world are waking us up to the shared experience of Black trauma in a society that is unfairly biased against them. The Black experience shared by many African Americans is wrought with the collective trauma of centuries of injustice, and as the Black Lives Matter protests and George Floyd protests continue to grow, we must not lose sight of the tragedies that led us to this moment.
