the same place where his tragic story turned triumph began&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">For the past 30 years&comma; New York City’s Central Park served as the origin for the injustice that Korey&comma; Raymond Santana&comma; Antron McCray and Kevin Richardson experienced at the hands of a corrupt system&period; Formerly known as the &num;CentralPark5&comma; these men were wrongfully convicted as children of a rape they were proven to have not committed&period; The men have receive much praise for their heroism&comma; especially since the release of &num;Netflix’s &num;WhenTheySeeUs&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon;
