Yusef Salaam

In 2014, The Central Park Five received a multi-million dollar settlement from the city of New York
for its grievous injustice against them. Yusef was awarded an Honorary Doctorate that same year
and received the President’s Life Time Achievement Award in 2016 from President Barack Obama.

he was awarded an honorary doctorate of humanities from Anointed by God Ministries Alliance and Seminary in 2014.

the policies of institutions of higher education generally ask that recipients "refrain from adopting
the misleading title" and that a recipient of an honorary doctorate should restrict the use of the
title "Dr" before their name to any engagement with the institution of higher education in question
and not within the broader community.
