The Reverend Al Sharpton led hundreds of demonstrators for the “March on Wall Street” Thursday to protest President Trump’s assault on diversity, equity and inclusion programs, and his attempts to control Democratic-led cities led by Black mayors. New York State Assembly member and mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani marched alongside Reverend Sharpton and Martin Luther King III. The other mayoral candidates — Governor Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Eric Adams — did not attend the march. This is Zohran Mamdani addressing the crowd in Lower Manhattan. Zohran Mamdani: “As we stand here in the wealthiest city in the wealthiest country in the history of the world, as we stand here by Wall Street, where last year they had more than $40 billion in bonuses, we ask ourselves: How is it that one in four New Yorkers are still living in poverty? We ask ourselves: How is it that we have still yet to answer the question that Dr. King posed all those decades ago? Because what he said then, and what we must answer now, is: What good is it to have the right to sit at a lunch counter if you can’t afford to buy a hamburger?”
