Yusef Salaam, a member of the Central Park Five who was wrongfully convicted in 1989, has been elected to the New York City Council. After his exoneration, Salaam became an advocate for criminal justice reform and a motivational speaker, and he is now "humbled and honored" to serve the people of Harlem. His election is a reminder of the power of the justice system to right wrongs and a testament to the strength of the human spirit.
