Yesterday, the Rev. Al Sharpton, continuing his promise, led a protest against Arizona's immigration bill in Phoenix, and told the crowd, "I want you to know tonight that if those challenges don’t stop this law, if the federal government will not intervene ... then I want you to know that from all over this country we will bring people into Arizona... We will bring them in the spirit of the Freedom Riders... If you lock up one, you’ll have to lock us all up."
Sharpton said, "If they do it to Latinos today, they do it to your group tomorrow," adding, "Let me get this right, if I want to give [Arizona] money, I'm welcome. But if I want to make sure that you do not profile and discriminate against my brothers and sisters, you tell me to mind my own business. Well I come to tell you, that when you mess with our people whether they're brown, whether they're white, whether they're black, that is my business." National labor unions have said they will boycott Arizona if the law continues to stand.
Sharpton also wore a Los Suns jersey. The Phoenix Suns' sporting of the alternate jersey actually upset some people.
