Sharpton joins MetroFocus to talk about his fascinating journey – from his days marching through then-hostile white neighborhoods like Bensonhurst and Howard Beach - exposing a racist side of New York many didn’t want to believe existed - to his current place as media elder statesman and presidential adviser.
