An entryway to New York's Central Park has been dedicated to remember the injustice that imprisoned five Black and Latino teenagers
Central Park Five
The entryway, located on the northern perimeter of the park between Fifth Avenue and Malcolm X Boulevard, will be known as the “Gate of the Exonerated." It commemorates the miscarriage of justice that not only befell the five men, organizers say, but the unknown others who might have been wrongly imprisoned.“We are here because we persevere,” he said to a cheering crowd.
“We were babies, who had no dealing with the law. Never knew what Miranda was,” said Santana, as he recounted a time of confusion when police rustled him up and began interrogating him.Soon after, the convictions of the Central Park Five were thrown out in 2002 after the men served six to 13 years in prison.
The gate, they said, would stand as reminder of the injustice of the past but also of those still being committed today.
