Radio station to honor Newark mayor
A Plainfield radio station is hosting a brunch Saturday to honor outgoing Newark mayor Sharpe James and New York civil rights activist Alton Henry Maddox Jr., a former lawyer.
Both James and Maddox are scheduled to attend, said the Rev. Rick Taylor, former Plainfield mayor and a radio host at Harvest Radio, WKMB AM 1070. Speakers at the brunch will talk about the "rich talents" within Plainfield's borders, according to a press release.
The event will be broadcast over the airwaves and benefit the development of educational programs at the station, Taylor said.
