About this Event
Join us on August 8 for a special live taping of NYRR Set the Pace Presented by Peloton LIVE at the Apollo Stages at the Victoria.
NYRR CEO Rob Simmelkjaer and co-host Keisha Sutton-James, Percy Sutton's granddaughter and former deputy Manhattan borough president, will sit down with multi-platinum Harlem recording artist FERG and MS NOW Political Analyst Dr. Basil Smikle Jr. to unearth the little-known story of the powerhouse Percy Sutton built in Harlem and beyond.
Percy Sutton believed in New York when almost no one else did. A Tuskegee Airman and the attorney who represented Malcolm X, he went on to build a pioneering Black-owned media empire, help create the 5-boro marathon, save the historic Apollo Theater, and claim his seat at the legendary Regency "Power Breakfast."
