Sharpton rouses Black voters in Florida
Monday, August 30, 2004 at 02:06PM
The Rev. Al Sharpton drank coffee in a hospitality room
before his speech on Saturday afternoon in hopes of recovering from a
trip that began early Saturday morning in New York City. After jumping
in a vehicle to Gainesville promptly after his flight landed in
Orlando, Sharpton admitted fatigue but said his "spirit is keeping me
going." Asking him about the importance of Florida's black voters in
the 2004 presidential election appears to be a good way to wake him
up. "Our vote will make the difference in terms of who wins this
state," Sharpton said before addressing a crowd assembled at the
Democratic Black Caucus of Alachua County's candidate forum Saturday
afternoon. [more
