The Tacoma/Pierce County community is invited to a welcome reception for Dr. Yusef Salaam.

Dr. Salaam is well-known for his involvement as one of the “Central Park Five,” a group of young men wrongly accused and incarcerated for the alleged rape of a white woman in Central Park, New York in 1989. Years later, they were exonerated and are now recognized as the “Exonerated Five.”

During his visit, Dr. Salaam will engage with the community, provide inspirational insights on topics such as Prison Reform, Black Male Achievement, Juvenile Justice, Voting, Community Engagement, and more. His talk will center around themes in his book, “Better Not Bitter.”

Registration is required!
