"Trump's Indictment Celebrated by Exonerated Central Park Five Member and Al Sharpton"

Yusef Salaam, one of the wrongly imprisoned Central Park Five, is running for a City Council seat in Harlem. After Donald Trump's indictment, Salaam sent out a statement calling it "karma." Trump had stoked the racist and sensationalized reaction to the case by taking out full-page advertisements in four city newspapers, including The New York Times, calling for the death penalty to be reinstated. Salaam's history with the former president has generated new interest in his campaign, with more volunteers, a slight uptick in donations, and several appearances on MSNBC. Salaam hopes his story of resilience and overcoming trauma will resonate with Harlem voters.
