Rev. Al Sharpton  Trump is turning Dr. King's dream into a nightmare. Did civil rights martyrs die in vain?
A situation this dire requires an equally impressive response.

In November of 2008, I was invited to Chicago to watch the election returns at Grant Park and be there with Barack Obama as he became the first African American ever elected U.S. president. I respectfully declined. Instead I spent election night in Atlanta, leading National Action Network’s (NAN) watch night service, similar to the New Year’s Eve service and countdown that we do every year. I then led 5,000 people to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s grave for a rally before marching across the street to Ebenezer Baptist Church — Dr. King’s church — to be with King’s sister, his daughter Bernice King and his son Martin Luther King III.

At such a historic moment, this is where I had to be; A black president wouldn’t have even been possible without Dr. King. He sacrificed everything and literally laid down his life so that we could witness the day when a black man stood on stage with his black family and accepted the office of the presidency of the United States.

MLK: We should judge people by their character, not the color of their skin.
Shapton: He didn't mean that.

Sharpton has been at or near the top of racial arsonists who have made things a lot worse. Many black "leaders" are basically nothing more than leftist shills who still hate their own country and blame others for black problems.
But Sharpton has actually gotten people killed i.e. Freddie's Fashion Mart. Look it up.
Sharpton should be doing hard time for what he's done.
