Yusef Salaam, one of the wrongly imprisoned members of the 'Central Park Five', has won a New York City Council seat. In 1989, Salaam and four other teenagers were arrested for the rape of a jogger in Central Park, but were exonerated in 2002 when DNA evidence proved their innocence. Salaam's victory comes three decades after the incident, and he discussed this win in an interview.
