This is one documentary that must be seen.

I just got home from the local theater that was showing the documentary of The Central Park Five. I am still in tears over the injustice these young men have had to endure for more than twenty years. Even after being exonerated over ten years ago they are still fighting for justice.

The comments left at the end of this article show that we still have a long way to go in regards to racism in our country.

Even though Ken Burns made it, it's gotten amazingly little notice.

I guess people would rather not look too closely at certain things. They won't like what they see.
