After all that the falsely accused man went through, he was the only one of his peers arrested during that fateful time who remained in NYC after they were released and cleared of charges. The other five guys migrated south. But why did Korey stay? He tells BlackTree TV, its simple math: “This is my roots. I can’t speak for no other. This is my roots. This my home.
