When They See Us Parts 1 & 2 Screening

In 1989 a jogger was assaulted and raped in New York's Central Park, and five young people were subsequently charged with the crime. The quintet, labeled the Central Park Five, maintained its innocence and spent years fighting the convictions, hoping to be exonerated. This limited series spans a quarter of a century, from when the teens are first questioned about the incident in the spring of 1989, going through their exoneration in 2002 and ultimately the settlement reached with the city of New York in 2014. There will be pizza and beverages at this screening.  Also, join us on Feb 20th when Kevin Richardson, one of the exonerated 5, will be on campus to tell his story.
