Mimi Rosenberg |
A long-delayed $250 million NYC civil suit finally goes to trial this year — putting the reputations of some of the city’s most powerful on the line. After 22 years the then teens, Kharey Wise, Kevin Richardson, Antron McCray, Yusef Salaam and Raymond Santana, are no longer convicted felons or registered sex offenders, but they’re still best known as the Central Park 5. Each served from 7 to 13 years in prison for a rape they didn’t commit, after Mayor Koch, the police, prosecutors and the media, along with mogul Donald Trump, who actively advocated for the death penalty for the youth, whipped the city into a racist lynch mob.

And for those rebels, still in the streets, or locked in a prison cell, we hold revolutionary love. With that love burning in our hearts, we host another of our every-other-week political prisoner letter-writing dinners.

Leaders from the South Bronx and East Harlem will gather together on the steps of City Hall this Thursday to implore Speaker Christine Quinn to support the “Common Sense District 8 Plan”, which reflects scores of public testimony not only from District 8 leaders but also from District 16 and 17 in the Bronx. The unified plan reintegrates Randall’s Island, fully restores East Harlem (notably including Lexington and Carver Houses and Mount Sinai) and reasonably reconfigures the South Bronx (including providing Yankee Stadium and Concourse Village to District 16; Hostos Community College and Lincoln Hospital to District 17; and increasing District 8’s coverage of the South Bronx’s unified waterfront and “HUB” retail district).

This sort of deliberate disruption of a culture and depopulation of a region spanning six states can only be described as ethnic cleansing. It’s a war of the coal companies against the citizens of Appalachia, and after eight years of unsuccessful efforts by environmental groups to reform the law by reinserting the original definition of fill, the Clean Water Protection Act still languishes in Congress, with powerful coal state politicians vowing to never let it come to vote.
