When the National Action Network 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.
Jeffries went on to add that while some politicians have praised Dr. King, they fall short of following through with the reverend’s teachings by pushing to take away social benefits, such as affordable housing, Medicare, reproductive freedom, and voting rights. Reverend Sharpton arrived just after 3 p.m. Monday, in time to introduce Governor Kathy Hochul. Presenting a proclamation to Reverend Sharpton, the governor attributed her work in office to the late Dr. King, stating that it was because of his teachings that she yearned to fight for the rights of the people.
