....probably not going to get the same level of love on this board that others have gotten.....but he is a national figure...

Jesse Jackson, towering icon of civil rights, dies following lengthy illness

In a decades-long effort, Jesse Jackson stood alongside MLK, pushed for voting rights, shamed corporations and negotiated with world leaders.

I saw him once in O'Hare Airport - he seemed like a really big dude....like he could have been a D End.

One of the big voices for a couple decades. R.I.P.

To be fair as a younger adult I was a skeptic of his, but as I aged a bit his take on a two tier justice system is clear as day today in particular. He fought the good fight...RIP.

Well he had some potential under mlk and then imo botched it and became like al sharpton.
Anyway, may god be with his soul!

Jesse is a pretty complicated guy to discuss. Starting as a true civil rights "leader" his need for fame pushed him to align with every cause he could good or bad.

WOW, thank you for posting, RO. I didn't realize Jesse Jackson was still alive, of course, until today.

Robert Duvall, Jesse Jackson and surely someone else here any day now if the "Three Celebrities" rule holds true.

Agreed...starred well intentioned then the need for recognition clouded his judgment. Flawed but aren't we all. RIP
