(NEW YORK, NY) –
The following is a statement from Rev. Al Sharpton, President and
Founder of the National Action Network on President Obama’s final State
of the Union Address:
“The President showed again last night why he is an
unparalleled leader in the history of our country. His continued
advocacy to protect more children from the scourge of guns and to fix
the broken criminal
justice system reflect foundational priorities for the Black community
in America – and we look forward to hearing more about those issues in
the year ahead.
For seven years President Obama has fought to bring
change, from the Affordable Care Act to responsibly restoring America’s
position as a world leader, and his accomplishments are vast. There is
much more
work to be done, and it is encouraging to see the aggressive agenda he
has laid out for the last year of his administration. As the President
said, in this election year our political discourse must reflect the
goodness and optimism that are essential to the
future of our country – we can only hope that his successor carries on
President Obama’s legacy.”
