Confronted with the racist and white nationalist attack on our nation from one of our federal agencies (DHS) and the resident of the White House, we need Rev. Jackson's words, "Keep Hope Alive!" to continue to sound through the country. He ruffled feathers by bringing attention to issues that needed to be addressed. Like John Lewis and Dr. King, he looked toward the future.
He carried the fire when the Epstein class tried to smother it, and showed us how to keep it burning. Thank you, Reverend Jessie Jackson. Rest In Power.
"President Carter restored honor to the White House after Watergate. He gave many of us a special opportunity to grow. For his kind words, for his unwavering commitment to peace in the world....I offer special thanks to the Carter family."
Rev. Jesse Jackson in a 1988 speech at the Democratic National Convention
I picture these two great men meeting again on the other side

"He looked toward the future". Which makes his deathbed words to his son even more sad.

Thank you for your heartfelt tribute, April.
FLOTUS Obama also worked with him. May his memory be a wakeup call for many that we need a revelation and a revolution.
Thanks for that nice article. NPR had a nice tribute to Rev. Jessie Jackson today, he had a great sense of humor too!
What a lovely and thorough tribute to a great man with a large legacy who gave so much. We are blessed.
He was truly a great man.
Jesse Jackson- such an important, vital force for good in our history
Not many others left to pick up the torch where he left off.

April, you must have been typing this through tears, because I was reading this through tears. Thank you.
All except for his Hymietown comment.
Jodi ,all great men and women are flawed. We all are flawed.
. What will be said of you after you die?
She tried her best. She learned from her mistakes. She apologized when she was wrong.
