Statement from Rev. Al Sharpton on Bombings in Austin, Texas

New York, NY - Rev. Al Sharpton and National Action Network (NAN) will monitor the explosions in Austin, Texas, in the wake of separate incidents targeting victims of color.

While the investigation will hopefully determine the motive of these attacks in the near future, there are ongoing safety concerns and members of the community are seeking answers as to what transpired. One of the victims of the attacks was the grandson of a former pastor at a historically Black church, according to media reports.

Rev. Al Sharpton will conduct his nationally syndicated radio show “Keepin it Real” today, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on WURD FM radio, and he will discuss the events in Austin.
