Ava DuVernay has directed a Netflix four-part series entitled “As They See Us.” The program is about five teenagers who were wrongfully convicted in 1989 for gang-raping and nearly killing a woman in Central Park.
Their convictions were dismissed in 2002 and they were paid $41 million by New York in 2014 to settle their civil rights suit. They had done nothing. The man who did was finally caught.
A real estate developer in 1989 took out full page ads condemning the boys. At a news conference he said, “You better believe that I hate the people who took this girl and raped her brutally,”
That was Donald Trump. He has never apologized.
The word "apologize" is not in individual one's vocabulary.
