Obama Visits Apollo Theater in New York City Fundraising Trip

HeadlineJan 20, 2012

President Obama was in New York City on Thursday for a busy night of fundraising. Obama greeted supporters at a Manhattan restaurant and at the home of the film director Spike Lee, where guests dined at a cost of $38,000 per plate. Obama then appeared at Harlem’s historic Apollo Theater, where he sang a line of the soul legend and event performer Al Green’s hit song, “Let’s Stay Together.” A crowd of around 100 protesters with Occupy Wall Street and other groups demonstrated outside of the Apollo.
