21 News Podcast: A candid conversation with Kevin Richardson of the Central Park Five

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - In a lengthy and candid conversation, Corey McCrae speaks with Kevin Richardson of the Central Park Five, who were wrongfully accused and convicted of a brutal attack on a jogger in New York City in the late 1980's.
Richardson talks about the reforms needed in order to shatter the false perceptions some in authority have held against Black and Latino men.
Richardson recounts how that night changed his life forever and opened his eyes to the inequities that exist in some aspects of the criminal justice system, which he now works to reform.
The case has had a renewed focus since the release of the Ava Duvernay Netflix docuseries, "When They See Us," which chronicles the case.
Richardson will be in the Mahoning Valley on February 4, when he will be the keynote speaker at "Unmute the Uncomfortable: A Symposium to Engage on Racial Justice and Mental Health Awareness," at the Eastwood Event Center in Niles.
