(24 Nov 2020) Rev. Al Sharpton remembered former New York Mayor David Dinkins as an early pioneer in the calls for racial equality happening across the U.S. today.
Dinkins died at the age of 93 after serving as New York's first Black mayor from 1989 to 1993.
"David Dinkins took a knee against police brutality before Colin Kaepernick did. David Dinkins never stopped standing for what was right," Sharpton said at a news conference Tuesday.
Sharpton, a longtime friend of Dinkins and fellow Harlem native, said he first met Dinkins when he was 16 years old.
