Reverend Al Sharpton’s father has died at age 93, the social justice activist and TV personality announced Saturday morning on MSNBC. Al Sharpton Sr. was once a real estate investor and boxer. Mr. Sharpton was born in 1931. In June, Sharpton posted a Father’s Day message for his “natural father,” saying, “Though he left when I was 10 years old, we reconciled many years later. I’ve learned from his wisdom and tenacity.”
