"I think there's some symbolism in me coming to a conservative college in the South where Robert E. Lee is buried. I did the best I could to give his memory a different flavor by visiting him. Imagine how it's going to play in Harlem."

AL Sharpton visited the General's school. Gotta give him credit. If Lee's Chapel looks like it did when I went to law school there (it does) there are Confederate flags everywhere and Lee's statue lying in repose in the center. I can't think of any other minority leader who would take pictures right smack-dab in the middle of it all.
