Harlem Says Goodbye to the Godfather


Harlem bids a loving goodbye to the Godfather of soul. A sea of fans sang in the streets as they waited to pay their respects at the Apollo theater.
His casket left a Georgia funeral parlor Wednesday for an all-night drive to New York. It arrived at Sharpton's Harlem headquarters just before noon Thursday, and was quickly transferred to the carriage for a 20-block procession to the theater.

Sharpton accompanied the body from Georgia and walked behind the carriage Thursday. He stood at Brown's side for hours during the viewing.
