Rev. Sharpton Reflects On Decades Long Fight Against Hate

Rev. Al Sharpton has spent his life speaking up, loudly, against racism and racial violence.  The new documentary “Loudmouth” chronicles his path from a teenage preacher to a racial justice firebrand on the streets of 1980s New York City.  Rev. 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.

“Loudmouth” streams on Amazon and Apple TV starting on January 13th.
