Dr. Yusef Salaam's story has been presented in Ken Burn's documentary, "The Central Park Five" and Ava DuVernay's award-winning Netflix series, "When They See Us." Since his release more than 20 years ago, Yusef has become a family man, father, poet, activist, and inspirational speaker. He has committed himself to advocate and educate people on the issues of mass incarceration, police brutality and misconduct, false confessions, press ethics and bias, race and law, and the disparities in America’s criminal justice system, especially for young men of color.
