DEAR HARRIETTE: My friend moved out of her mother's house in early 2021, and her mother graciously allowed me to rent her room for a low price.

It’s not terribly well sourced, attributing the information to “an official of Sharpton’s National Action Network” who told NBC what Sharpton had told him.
