In 1989, after a white mob attacked and killed a black teenager in Brooklyn, the Rev. Al Sharpton led black demonstrators down streets where angry whites confronted them, yelling obscenities and throwing bricks and watermelons their way.

On Sunday, exactly twenty years later, Sharpton joined the slain teenager’s family and friends at the Brooklyn cemetery where Yusuf Hawkins is now buried.
