NAACP Pres.: Jesse Jackson ‘Was Much More Dynamic and Diverse than What People Give Him Credit For’

EXCERPT:

JOHNSON: “You know, he was a global leader as well. He was on the forefront of the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa. He negotiated with foreign nations to release hostages. He was in the middle of a campaign where he realized that the rights of farmers and white America was the same as the needs of black Americans. He began to pull things together under the Rainbow Coalition. He was someone that was much more dynamic and diverse than what people give him credit for, because he cared about this nation, he wanted to see the Constitution to fulfill its promise, and he wanted to make sure he uses his voice in that pursuit.”
