Civil rights leader and Senior Pastor Emeritus of New York’s Riverside Church, Dr. James A. Forbes spoke Wednesday night of racial economic discrimination and the loss to this country by the underestimation of minorities at the Larchmont and Mamaroneck 25th Martin Luther King, Jr. public celebration at the Hommocks Auditorium.
