Also there were EIGHT young African-American and Latino youths charged in the CENTRAL PARK JOGGER CASE. FIVE served years in prison, while three were exonerated. Alton Maddox volunteered to defend all eight pro bono, but because he had been villified by the press duting the Tawanna Brawley rape case, only one of the eight hired Maddox for his defense.

By recapping the accomplishments of unsung African American Heroes and Sheroes starting with the Crispus Attucks, the first man to die in the Revolutionary War, you are highlighting citizens in service both past and present. This is particularly important and potent today when the current Trump administration is erasing the valor and victories of nonwhite Americans throughout the ages..
