It was 36 years ago *today* that five Black and Latino boys, having committed no crime, were rounded up in Central Park. They were charged and convicted of an attack they did not commit. They became the Exonerated Five. And today they are standing tall. ✊🏿 #exoneratedfive
Whilst he'll squirm for sure, will Trump once again be able to avoid accountability for his past lies in this, a civil lawsuit brought against him? The Supreme Court's ruling that Trump has 'Presidential immunity' only applies to crim matters. #CentralParkFive #EXONERATEDFive #ClintonPrecedent

#KamalaHarris spoke about #Trump’s history on #race, including him taking out an ad calling for the execution of the #CentralParkFive in #NewYork decades ago & spreading birther #lies about fmr POTUS Barack #Obama. She is arguing that he uses race to divide instead of talking about his false comments that she “turned Black” — that was the original question.
