What was said
"Sharpton said to me point blank when I tried to recruit other civil rights leaders to stand with me. This was a rare time where a bunch of people were like, "Sorry, Rev." Like, "That's not my plaintiff.""
Anand Giridharadas says Rev Al Sharpton told him some civil-rights leaders declined to join him publicly after Jordan Neely’s death. Giridharadas recounts Sharpton saying Neely’s homelessness and mental illness made the case harder to rally support around.
