REV. JESSE JACKSON
Jesse Jackson  (born Jesse Louis Burns; October 8, 1941) is an American civil rights activist and Baptist minister.  He was a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1984 and 1988 and served as a shadow U.S. Senator for the District of Columbia from 1991 to 1997.  He is the founder of the organizations that merged to form Rainbow/PUSH.  Jackson was also the host of Both Sides with Jesse Jackson on CNN from 1992 to 2000.   (More from Wikipedia)
  Dead Hippie is quite theatrical; and though it is an easy style to mock, like the speeches of Rev. Jesse Jackson, we are all still better off for having heard their music.  (July 2012)  |
