REVEREND JESSE JACKSON DIES
By: Derek Varsalona
Civil Rights Activist Rev. Jesse Jackson died yesterday at the age of 84. A Baptist minister and civil rights icon will leave a huge emptiness in many hearts today.
Reverend Jesse Jackson was the founder of the Rainbow Push Coalition. Some people would describe the man as a racist, but I do not think that he was a racist. Reverend Jackson was a Civil Rights icon of the modern era. But no means was he greater than Martin Luther King.
Jesse Jackson's legacy will live on. As always, comments accepted.
