Yusef Salaam, one of the falsely imprisoned teenagers in the 1989 Central Park jogger case, speaks during a news interview while getting petition signatures for his campaign for New York City Council's 9th District, March 1, 2023, in New York. Some consider Salaam a folk hero as a member of the “Central Park Five,” the group of teenagers wrongly convicted of raping a white jogger 34 years ago. Now he is banking on his painful past to help win a seat on the New York City Council. (AP Photo/Frank Franklin II, File)
