- Summary
- During his seven years of wrongful incarceration as one of the Central Park Five, Yusef Salaam gained a spiritual perspective on life, realizing that we are all "born on purpose, with a purpose." Better, Not Bitter is the story of a young man growing up in central Harlem in the '80s with dreams of being a rapper, raised by a strong, fierce mother and a regal grandmother. And it's the story of the failure of America's criminal justice system, of being vilified by a nation. But during his years of incarceration, Yusef discovered the power of art and faith, and of holding on to the person you know you are, which gave him the strength to survive, and helped him through reentry and exoneration
