October 17, 2009 At the invitation of ASU’s Center for Community Development and Civil Rights, Rev. Al Sharpton came to Phoenix for the second time this year to protest Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s anti-illegal immigration sweeps. Drew and I were able to get credentials for the press conference, so we decided to take the opportunity to ask Rev. Al, as a self-described anti-war and civil rights activist, about his feelings regarding the expansion of the wars in both Afghanistan and Pakistan. We also asked him about his feelings, from a civil rights standpoint, about numerous pieces of legislation that have been passed or are currently pending in State legislatures around the country regarding mandatory vaccination against the H1N1 virus. Below is the video of the questions as well as Rev. Al and Sheriff Joe on Lou Dobbs earlier this year.
