A central Park gate will commemorate the miscarriage of justice that not only befell the 'Exonerated 5,' but the unknown others who might have been wrongly imprisoned, organizers say.
NEW YORK — At a small patch of Central Park flanking New York’s Harlem neighborhood, scores came Monday to remember the injustice that imprisoned five Black and Latino teenagers after they were wrongly accused and convicted of the 1989 rape of a white jogger.
Monday was the first time Raymond Santana, another of the men, now in his 40s, has returned to Central Park since that fateful day 33 years ago. “It needs to be known what we went through. We went to hell and back,” said Richardson. “We have these scars that nobody sees.”
