Reverend Jesse Jackson was one of America’s greatest patriots. He spent his life summoning all of us to fulfill the promise of America and building the coalitions to make that promise real. A son of Greenville, South Carolina, Reverend Jackson first rose to the national stage as

The last 7 minutes of that speech is one of the most unbelievable closes I have ever heard!!
Here’s the close of Jesse’s 1988 DNC speech “keep hope alive.” The challenge for politicians on the left remains unsparing critique that doesn’t descend into cynicism. There’s a reason that churched, black political figures navigate this more seamlessly than others

Jesse Jackson was a champion for civil rights, economic justice, and world peace. I have always remembered his moving call for moral clarity at the 1988 DNC.

Today, we remember and uplift the legacy of civil rights leader, humanitarian, and politician Jesse Jackson. Born to a teenage mother in Greenville, South Carolina, Jackson grew up during the era of Jim Crow.

What I said in November still holds true, “until men are being walked to the jail, this is still a cover-up.” Transparency is an essential part of unraveling this global sex trafficking scheme, but it’s not the Department of Transparency, it’s the Department of Justice.

Many have heard of the Navajo Code Talkers but less know there were other tribes who utilized Native American languages as US soldiers. The first was the Choctaw Code Talkers who pioneered code talking during WW1, straight from the trenches facing machine guns and gas—heroes!
