In a case that dominated the headlines more than 30 years ago, Kevin D. Richardson and four other Black and Latino teens were falsely convicted of a brutal attack on a woman jogging in Central Park.
The Central Park Five were eventually exonerated after serving time in prison. Their story was recently depicted in the film “When They See Us.” With the country galvanized by the death of George Floyd at the hands of police and a national conversation underway on systemic racism, Richardson will discuss his experiences, including those as an advocate for criminal justice reform, at a New Jersey State Bar Association (NJSBA) virtual symposium titled “Race and the Law: What We Can Do Together to Effect Change,” on Aug. 20.
