Yusef Salaam writing memoir about his wrongful imprisonment
NEW YORK โ One of the five teens wrongly imprisoned for the assault on a Central Park jogger has a memoir coming out in the spring. The five Black and Latino teens were coerced into confessing to a rape they didnโt commit in 1989. Ken Burns made a documentary about them and Ava DuVernay directed a Netflix series. โOne of the most powerful lessons I learned while being wrongfully incarcerated was that instead of going through something, I was going to grow through something," Salaam said in a statement. โPunching the Air,โ co-written by Ibi Zoboi, came out in September.
