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.

Every time a black person tries to make a point, it seems that people who either truly dont understand or choose not to immediately jump to invalidate the injustice all around us by nitpicking on specific words, or trying to become offended by something as simple as saying the color of your skin For black people, the color of their skin means something that we just cant understand. But we can listen and learn. This is uncomfortable. I get that. But while you're mildly uncomfortable and able to take a moment to water down an issues as wide spread and as deeply rooted in society as this, people are dying. So please remember that this isnt about you. It's about all of us. Instead of being difficult, just listen.

if you don’t know the story of the exonerated 5 please please please watch when they see us. it’s hard to watch but so important especially during a time like this
Hi I’m a black Woman living in France it been a week that I’ve been watching protests on black lives matter I cried a lot but this morning I woke up realizing I was living history. What is happening is not only about black peoples it’s about us as humankind it’s about all the injustices in the world and black peoples are at the bottom of all injustices in this world that why we are taken as the symbolic of the fight for equality and justice. We should all as human feel part of this Fight thanks for contributing to the awareness
Dr. Salaam, you are an inspiration and you have a beautiful family.
Years ago I saw Ken Burns doco on the Central Park 5, I’ve never seen anything so heartbreaking in my life. Over the years I tried following them just to make sure they were happy because I wanted very much that they’d all be protected from the evil that hurt them in the first place, an evil that should never exit for anyone but does. God bless you Dr Saalam
Yes my brother ♥️ thank you. ♥️😊

Trump refuses to admit he was wrong back then and he’s very wrong right now. I’m happy to learn that this fine man, this doctor, has become a beacon of truth that is trying his best to help the young black women and men that still face the hatred and racism that he experienced as a teenager. I’m a 69 year old melanin deficient woman who has spoken out against racism since I was 15 years old. I transferred to an integrated high school because I could no longer keep quiet about what I saw and heard at the all white school my racist mother sent me too. I’m hoping that at least now there might be justice for the people who are protesting peacefully. It’s very strange to me that most of the looters are all white. Makes me realize that the game is still rigged. Annie in TN 🥰✌️
What a wonderful and clear mind! Salut Dr. Yusef Salaam. Thank you for your great explanation.
