Jerome called the criminal justice reform advocate a 'role model and an inspiration.'
Korey Wise was just a 16-year-old boy looking out for his friend Yusef Salaam,15, when he voluntarily traveled to a New York City precinct on April 20, 1989.
The incessant media coverage painted the boys as monsters. President Donald Trump, a real estate broker at the time, used them as a means to promote reinstated death penalty laws. They were all convicted for the crime. That changes when Netflix releases When They See Us, the highly anticipated Ava DuVernay-directed series on the Central Park Five, told from their and their family’s perception. The four-episode series, releasing on the streaming giant on Friday, provides a glimpse into the suffering the young boys endured from the moment they were picked up by police throughout the years they spent behind bars and, for some, the hardships they faced as registered sex offenders following their return home.
