Civil rights activist Reverend Al Sharpton has announced that he plans to visit Meek Mill in prison today, November 27. Sharpton said that he plans to visit Meek Mill in an effort to secure a new hearing for the 30-year-old rapper, and to draw attention to the mass incarceration of young black men in America. “I think this is about an injustice that is representative of many young men of color that face an abuse of a probation or parole system,” Sharpton said Saturday at the Harlem headquarters of his civil rights group, National Action Network.
