We have not always agreed, but I have said repeatedly and publicly many times that Al Sharpton has never counseled violence, but he gets blamed for a whole lot of that.
From David Dinkins
Well, I was about six or seven, and my mother and father separated.
My mother came here to New York. She and my grandmother were domestics, cooking, cleaning for other people.
As a matter of fact, even when I finished law school, I had no notion of public service then.
I finished law school in '56, but I was working two jobs.
I went downtown as a lawyer and then I worked in a liquor store at night, as I had done all through law school. And so when I got to the point where I could give up the night job, I joined the political club.
