Baptist minister, civil rights activist and radio talkshow host, Al Sharpton has been awarded the UCD James Joyce Award by the UCD Literary and Historical Society at University College Dublin.
He received the award at an event in the Fitzgerald Debating Chamber on the University College Dublin campus where he took part in a live conversation and questions and answers session with students.
According to MSNBC, Rev. Sharpton, who founded the civil rights organisation National Action Network, has "over 40 years of experience as a community leader, politician, minister and advocate" and "is one of America's most-renowned civil rights leaders".
Describing Rev. Sharpton, NPR says "[he] has spent nearly all of his adult life in the spotlight, earning both praise and condemnation".
Previous recipients of the UCD James Joyce Award include: Archbishop Desmond Tutu; Nobel laureate Seamus Heaney; and Reverend Jesse Jackson.
The award is named after University College Dublin's best-known graduate, the author of Ulysses, James Joyce, who is one of the most influential writers of the early twentieth century.

He did ABSOLUTELY nothing specifically for the black community. The fact that the question was presented sums it all up.

What did Obama do for Black People? He gave you a phone📱so everyone can be tracked in the Satellite🛰 like the #EnemyofTheState Movie. He TRIED Diligently to give you HealthCare⚕ and improve the Quality of Life but Mitch Connell kept blocking the bill.

The question is presented because the Right put it in your head. The Country was crashing as Obama walked into office. Our biggest industries was flat lining and the country was in a recession after bush. It took 6 years for Obama to get us out that sh(t. Saving the COUNTRY was the task at hand. in that alone, he done Plenty for EVERYBODY.

Affordable care act = higher premiums & deductibles for all People. The Rev don't even have a Church. Al Sharpton actually believes that we forgot he was rolling on the floor on Jerry Springer. gtfoh

As a conservative I do acknowledge obama did do a few things that did help the black community more so then other communities... Defunding private prisons and giving aid to help men in child support cases were a few things he did do.. he also tried to create the My brother's keeper initiative but "somebody" stopped that from happening 🙄

So usually when I come across someone’s comment that I have no knowledge on I google snd do a little research and both points you made are false. Obama did vow to phase out private prison contracts to run federal prisons but to no avail. And same with the child support he aimed to lower child support fees WHILE incarceration yet that policy didn’t do nun either.

Affordable Care Aact was bs. My monthly premium DOUBLED to $750 per month. I had to quit and did not have medical coverage for several years because it was too "affordable"!
