he Rev. Al Sharpton gave a rousing speech Saturday afternoon before an enthusiastic crowd of Sensata workers and supporters at the "Bainport" camp.
Pledging to continue his support for the Sensata protest, Sharpton promised that he will return to the encampment again and said that every civil rights leader “worth their salt” should visit the site to meet with the displaced workers.
“We need to show people that we are with them and we need to encourage them,” Sharpton said of the Sensata workers. “If I come, I know other civil rights leaders will come.
"Every civil rights leader worth their salt better come to 'Bainport' ‘cause you can’t talk for nobody if you don’t talk to the (public). ... This is not about black or white, this is right and wrong. Black and white workers worked in there together. Now, they’re being outsourced together. We’re going to stand together, we’re going to fight together.”
[I'm sorry, but I find myself questioning his motives these days. Plus, I can't really understand what he says anymore... -MC]
