Jesse Jackson Has Gone But Will Never Be Forgotten

Just like to say how truly upset I am by the passing of Rev.Jesse Jackson; he was one of the true greats who lived and fought always eloquently against the way things were for us black folk then and still sadly are now; a living link to the Rev. Martin Luther King himself killed unnaturally by hate fashioned into a bullet who has deservedly since passed into legendary status shaped by his resonance, deeds done, dignity and strong memory, just like the Rev.Jackson did himself as he watched and learned from his true friend and mentor.
We will not see his like again
But live in the knowledge that there are others who in turn watched and learned the lessons he taught
And will continue the struggle that just is
R.I.P Jesse Jackson
True Dignity Defined.

He really was an inspiring orator.

A truly inspirational man who inspired hope and resilience in the face of hate. Sweet rest, Bro Jackson 🙏🏾.

I felt the need to dig this book out and remind myself of all he's done.

A true legend. Sleep well.
