This is what Zohran said at the Mother Zion in Harlem.(photo below)

"Thank you Rev. Dr. Malcolm J. Byrd for the opportunity to address the congregation of Mother AME Zion Church in Harlem this morning.

Mother Zion is New York’s oldest Black church. It was known as “Freedom Church,” a central depot in the Underground Railroad. At its pulpit, Isabella Baumfree became Sojourner Truth. Its endurance is testament to the spirit and strength of African American people in our city and beyond."

Sadly, this isn't gonna help Mamdani with the Black vote.
The Black church, from my observation, has been totally in the orbit of the Democratic party establishment. And this grip has to be broken if the Black community is to practice independent & reality-based politics.
On that score Malcolm, Stokely, NOI, were spot on.
