Rev. Al Sharpton takes the tradition of barbershop discussion to a new level with his show Sharp Talk with Al Sharpton. This half-hour talk show, filmed at Levels Barbershop in Brooklyn, tackles a wide range of cultural, political and economic issues.
Each week, Rev. Al Sharpton and his expert guests discuss what really goes on inside the minds of African Americans; with topics such as slavery reparations, police brutality, gentrification impacting African American communities, entertainers as role models, Republican party, and fatherhood.
The barbershop has always been a haven of discussion in the African-American community. It's a time honored tradition, in which blacks have the opportunity to develop ideas and form identities about their attitudes toward various societal issues. Through lively conversation, honest viewpoints and expert insight, Sharp Talk lets everyone in on a secret forum that African-American males have known about for some time.
