When there was a tide of hatred demanding death for the wrongfully accused "Central Park Five," Ishmael Reed and not a lot of others fought back, demanding evidence and a fair trial. Now the truth is out, and many years later there have been few apologies. Reed names some of those who need to come clean.
Further, with the Broadway show "Hamilton," once again the myth-machine is in high gear. Hamilton is falsely portrayed as an "abolitionist" and a poor boy who made good. Fact is, he married money and dealt in slaves. Reed has a play out that exposes one of the worst of the "founding fathers."
