A new gate inspired by the Exonerated Five was unveiled in Central Park on Monday.
Located on Central Park North between Malcolm X Boulevard and Fifth Avenue, this gate, which is Central Park’s first named gate since 1862, honors all of those who have been wrongfully convicted. it also recognizes the ongoing struggle and fight to ensure justice for all.
The gate is the result of more than two years of extensive, in-depth dialogue among the Harlem community as well as a response to the community’s desire for healing and belonging in the aftermath of the Exonerated Five’s case, particularly for Black and Latino New Yorkers. The naming of the gate also aims to highlight wrongful incarcerations that are a product of inequities inherent in the justice system, and ultimately to honor all those affected.
