Thirty-one years ago, five teenagers from black and hispanic backgrounds were arrested by police, interrogated for at least seven hours, before confessing they took part in the assault of Trisha Meili. All, except Yusef Salaam. It was the beginning of what many have called ‘the crime of the century’ and the birth of the Central Park Five.

Since then, they have been jailed, Donald Trump has campaigned to have them executed, acquitted and awarded a $41 million settlement.

Yusef Salaam joins Dermot Murnaghan along with author Ibi Zoboi to talk about their novel, Punching the Air; written not to fuel anger or create an uprising, but to shed light on the injustice.

Punching the Air, Ibi Zoboi and Yusef Salaam, published by HarperCollins Children’s Books
