    Found this article about DA Bragg in the 1995 Harvard Crimson:

    The Anointed One
    Students See Alvin Bragg as Conciliator
    Byย Anna D. Wilde
    June 8, 1995

    On the evening of Sunday, February 9, 1992, a group of about 40 Black and Jewish students gathered for a tense discussion in a gray-carpeted, well-lit room in the Freshman Union.

    Just a few days before, the Harvard Black Students Association had hosted a speech by City University of New York professor Leonard Jeffries, provoking a 400-student protest spearheaded by Harvard-Radcliffe Hillel.

    The Union event was the only moment of organized talk in a year marked by silence and insult. The person who made it happen was at the time just a first-year student: Freshman Black Table President Alvin L. Bragg ’95.

    Some exchanges were sharp. Jews argued that Jeffries was anti-Semitic and inaccurate in some of his views. A Black student retorted, “If you feel that what Jeffries says is bullshit, then prove to me what he says is bullshit.”

    But as moderator, Bragg kept the session from escalating into a verbal brawl, diffusing tension by reminding participants that they were in an open forum, not an official meeting.

    “It just amazed me the poise he had, the ability to maintain a lid on a room that could have blown up,” says Michael H. Pine ’95, a Hillel official and friend of Bragg’s who was at the discussion.

    The 1992 meeting was typical of Bragg, whom many students credit with a rare ability to reconcile diverse people and clashing views.

    In his own term as president of the Black Students Association last year, Bragg was known as a mediator and, according to his predecessor, a “conciliator.” It is not the usual role for the president of the BSA, which through the years has found that only controversial activism forced significant change from the Harvard administration.

    Bragg is positioned to someday assume such a role on the larger stage of local or national politics. He has powerful mentors, including the Rev. Calvin O. Butts, pastor of Harlem’s influential Abyssinian Baptist Church.

    Bragg reconciles both strong roots in Harlem and an elite educational background at Harvard and New York’s private Trinity School. His mother, Sadie C. Bragg, says he was raised to “know who he was and live in both worlds.”

    The Harvard senior himself says he will likely not end up running for office. But whatever he does eventually, today there is a definite sense of the anointed about him.

    Says Dean of Students Archie C. Epps, who has been watching Harvard political talent since the late 1960s, “I would push him toward elective politics because he’s the perfect example of a crossover politician who can draw votes from both white and Black voters.”

    …………………………..

    “We wanted Alvin to be raised so he would understand growing up as a Black kid and also living in a predominantly white world,” his father says. “He would be educated, but would have to relate to people who weren’t that well-educated…so he could understand both worlds.”

    Every day after school, Alvin Sr. Brought his son to his office at the New York Urban League, giving him a glimpse of how its clients lived. Later, Alvin Sr. took his son to the homeless shelters where he served as a city administrator.

    Let us remember that William Barr was hired to be the MAGA regimeโ€™s criminal underboss and to cover up as many crimes as possible for a crook, so when he accuses DA Alvin Bragg of abusing power, heโ€™s actually upset to see his cover up efforts explode in his disgraceful face.
