Hello All:
October is full of heroes - I guess that's the nature of Libra - they believe in justice - they can't help themselves - they not only have the ability to see both sides of a situation, equitably, but they are heaven bent on making sure others are treated fairly.
Such is the nature of brother/friend Rev. Al Sharpton - who celebrated his birthday on October 3rd. We're celebrating his milestone 65th Birthday Anniversary.
I consider him one of the busiest brothers on the planet. He keeps a non-stop schedule in our behalves, leading the most dynamic national activist organization on the planet - appropriately named the National Action Network.
Happy Birthday, Reverend Al Sharpton
Today marks the 65th birthday of our Founder/President Reverend Al Sharpton.
We thank Reverend Sharpton for his sacrifice and commitment to social
justice and his vision in 1991 to create National Action Network, which
has become one of the nation’s most visible civil rights organization. For almost 30 years, NAN has been at the vanguard in the fight for social justice. As President Barack Obama noted, Reverend Sharpton has been the “voice for the voiceless.” Throughout this month, there will be many opportunities to reflect on Reverend Sharpton’s life and legacy as we continue forward in the fight for equality.
Happy birthday, Rev!
Rev.
Sharpton has poured his life's work into building up NAN to last into
posterity. Please donate today to ensure that NAN continues fighting for
justice. Help us uphold the dream, legacy and spirit of Dr. Martin
Luther King.
Instead
of giving The Rev a gift, donate $1 - $1000 to help National Action
Network continue to fight for justice and equality with criminal
justice, police misconduct, voting rights, and so much more...

Rev. Al is part of a pantheon of Librans whom I admire, including the late Johnnie Cochran, who would have been 82 on October 2; my sister/friend Dorothy Pittman-Hughes, also October 2; Amiri Baraka, whose birthdate is October 7, Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, born October 8 - each of whom has devoted their lives to justice, and a better quality of life for Black people.
