We of East Harlem that are in leadership roles know Powell well. It it unfair to to compare him with his Father, . His father was a true fighter. Adam Powell Senior would not have allowed the mistreatment of the consitiuents. We have many problems that are not being addressed in East Harlem.
Affordable Housing , Asthma Umeployment. We have supported him because we believed he was a fighter like his father
His father is noted for getting jobs on 125 street W. C. Grant. His powerful church which now is in the money making business.
Please check his father record.
The apple does fall far from the tree.
