The Powerhouse That Percy Sutton Built

Join us on August 8 for a special live taping of NYRR Set the Pace Presented by Peloton LIVE at the Apollo Stages at the Victoria.

Percy Sutton believed in New York when almost no one else did. A Tuskegee Airman and the attorney who represented Malcolm X, he went on to build a pioneering Black-owned media empire, help build the five-borough marathon, rescue the Apollo, and claim his seat at the legendary Regency "Power Breakfast."

Join NYRR CEO Rob Simmelkjaer and co-host Keisha Sutton-James, Sutton's granddaughter and former Deputy Manhattan Borough President, for a live conversation unearthing the little-known story of the powerhouse Percy Sutton built in Harlem and beyond.
