Yusef Salaam to Speak at Democratic Convention

News summary

Yusef Salaam, a wrongfully convicted member of the 'Exonerated Five', will speak at the Democratic National Convention, highlighting his ordeal and condemning Donald Trump's past actions. Salaam was one of five Black and Latino teenagers falsely accused and convicted of a rape in Central Park in 1989, largely due to coerced confessions. Trump, then a real estate developer, took out full-page ads calling for their execution, a stance he has never recanted. Salaam's speech aims to underscore the dangers of re-electing Trump and to rally support for Vice President Kamala Harris. Additionally, Tennessee State Representative Justin J. Pearson, known for his activism following a school shooting, will also address the convention. Both speakers will emphasize themes of justice, democracy, and the importance of the upcoming election.
