Student News Live, in partnership with the Carter G. Woodson Lyceum, will present a live-streamed Black History Month Town Hall with Rev. Al Sharpton from the Paley Center for Media in New York City.
West Virginia Public Broadcasting (WVPB) will share the live stream from 7:30 – 8:15 p.m. Feb. 7 on our YouTube channel.
The presentation will be entirely moderated by students asking Rev. Sharpton questions. Rob Quicke, director of the W. Page Pitt School of Journalism & Mass Communications at Marshall University, is co-founder of Student News Live. He will be making remarks to begin the presentation.
Two Marshall students have traveled to New York to participate in the event.
Rev. Al Sharpton serves as the founder and president of the National Action Network (NAN), anchors PoliticsNation on MSNBC, hosts the nationally syndicated radio shows Keepin’ It Real and The Hour of Power, holds weekly action rallies and speaks out on behalf of those who have been silenced and marginalized.
Rooted in the spirit and tradition of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., NAN boasts more than 100 chapters across the country to promote a modern civil rights agenda that includes the fight for one standard of justice, decency and equal opportunity for all.
Sharpton resides in New York City. He is the proud father of two daughters, Dominique and Ashley, and the grandfather of Marcus Al Sharpton Bright.
