Al Sharpton, host of nationally syndicated radio show "Keeping it Real with Al Sharpton", takes a moment - after broadcasting from Radio One affiliate 1450am/95.9fm WOL (heritage flagship station of Radio One) - to take a photo with me (Kirk Tanter) and TV/Radio Broadcast legend Donnie Simpson.

Simpson came out of retirement in 2015, and is now working the afternoon drive time slot at WMMJ "Majic 102.3" and has a TV show on TV One.

"Majic 102.3" (also owned by Radio One) is celebrating 30 years of service to the Washington DC market.

Al Sharpton was in Washingto DC to drum up the beat for his Annual National Action Network Convention happening April 26th through April 29th in New York City at the Sheraton Times Square Hotel in New York City.

Sharptons' NAN Convention is rising up to be one of the most notable Conventions in the United States. Recent NAN Conventions have had keynote speakers President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, Attorney General Eric Holder, Secretary of HUD Ben Carson, President/CEO of Urban One's Alfred Liggins, and there was a major debate a few years ago between Al Sharpton and Fox TV News Talk Show Host Sean Hannity. The concensus was that Al Sharpton won the debate.
