Four men of color wrongly accused of a New York assault in 1989 walked onstage at the Democratic National Convention on Thursday with strong words of criticism against one of their accusers: former President Donald Trump .

Kevin Richardson, Yusef Salaam, Korey Wise and Raymond Santana, four of the former Central Park Five, appeared after an introduction from Rev. Al Sharpton.

Let me tell you, this is gonna be so beautiful. Together on Nov. 5th, we will usher in Kamala Harris and Tim Walz into the White House, Salaam told the crowd.

Along with Antron McCray, who was absent, the group of men were accused of brutally sexually assaulting a white female jogger in 1989, but they were exonerated more than a decade later, in 2002. The group, who were all teens or young adults when they were arrested, is now also known as the Exonerated Five.
