1:43 PM -- Al Sharpton tells TMZ ... "I welcome the lawsuit and will have my attorneys be in touch with theirs to arrange for them to serve me so we can get in court."

Sharpton says ... "I convened a prayer vigil on what would have been Nolan's 19th birthday and three of the young men joined the Zoom and I asked them to come forward.

"I have been involved in the case for one sole reason: To help Nolan's parents Christine and Elmore find the truth in what happened to their beloved son through a transparent and accountable investigation. If a lawsuit is a catalyst for the truth, then it is welcomed and it will not deter NAN or me from continuing to stand with the family in their pursuit of justice."
