Democratic candidates slated to speak at Sharpton's convention

Sharpton will host the Democratic presidential candidates this week.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Civil rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton will host all the major Democratic presidential candidates at his National Action Network annual convention this week.

Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards will take the stage Wednesday night, followed by New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, Delaware Sen. Joe Biden, and Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd on Thursday. New York Sen. Hillary Clinton is slated to address Sharpton's New York based organization Friday, and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama will speak Saturday.

Sharpton, a Democratic candidate for president in 2004, has not completely ruled out throwing his hat into this cycle's presidential race, but has repeatedly said it's unlikely.
