New York’s highest serving elected officials joined Reverend Al Sharpton in Harlem on Monday to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King (MLK) Day and the enduring legacy of the legendary civil rights leader.
When the National Action Network (NAN) began its MLK Day celebration at about 2 p.m. on Jan. 16, the organization’s leader Reverend Al Sharpton was still in an airplane, jetting back from Washington D.C. after having shared breakfast with President Joe Biden. While Sharpton made his way to Harlem, notable speakers not only tipped their hat to Doctor King, but they also pointed out the importance his message still serves even now in 2023.
