Minister Louis Farrakhan to Go One-on-One on The ‘Keepin’ It Real’ with Al Sharpton Show Syndicated Radio Talk show

(Dallas, TX – February 28, 2007) – Minister Louis Farrakhan is scheduled tomorrow to discuss between 1:15pm and 1:45pm his future plans, the state of the Nation of Islam and the war in Iraq on the nationally syndicated ‘Keepin’ It Real with Al Sharpton’ radio show.

The Minister is scheduled to call Sharpton, president of the National Action Network and civil rights activist, whose show is distributed via the Syndication One network, a joint venture between Radio One [NASDAQ: ROIAK and ROIA] and Tom Joyner’s REACH Media Inc. ‘Keepin’ It Real with Al Sharpton’ airs 1pm EST to 4pm EST in markets around the country, and is available via online stream at http://sharptontalk.net.
