    Description

    Kaitlin and Amanda speak with Yusef Salaam and Ibi Zoboi to discuss their new graphic novel “Punching The Air,” inspired by Salaam’s experience being wrongfully incarcerated as a teenager as part of the Exonerated 5. Salaam describes the sometimes traumatic experience of writing about an incarcerated teen, what he hopes readers absorb from the book in a time of racial reckoning, and how he hopes to share the power of art with a new generation.
