University of North Georgia’s Black History Month

Yusef Salaam, one of the “Central Park Five,” was the keynote speaker for University of North Georgia’s Black History Month. He shared his story and answered questions on the Gainesville Campus.
Salaam was one of five teenagers — four black and one Latino — wrongly convicted after a young woman was brutally raped and left for dead in April 1989 in New York City’s Central Park.
