Trump’s Indictment Brings Central Park 5 Case Back Into Light
Yusef Salaam, one of the five Black and Latinx men who as teenagers were wrongfully convicted for the 1989 beating and sexual assault of a female jogger in New York’s Central Park, took out a full-page ad noting Trump’s arrest. The ad’s title, Bring Back Justice & Fairness. Build a Brighter Future for Harlem!” references an ad that Trump placed in several newspapers in 1989 concerning the Central Park 5. As Salaam explained in a Twitter post, “Over 30 years ago, Donald Trump took out full page ads calling for my execution.” Now, Salaam wrote, “On the day he was arrested and arraigned, here is my ad in response.”
