Civil rights leader Rev. Al Sharpton led thousands from across the country Thursday for “March on Wall Street” in protest of the Trump administration’s withdrawal from Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs — three values that the president and his followers have eschewed.
The massive Lower Manhattan march, coinciding with the 62nd anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous March on Washington in 1963, kicked off from Foley Square on the 62nd anniversary of the March on Washington. Sharpton stood with Martin Luther King III, Ben Crump, Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, and others. Mayor Eric Adams and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo did not appear.
