YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSupport our work
As we remember the life and legacy of civil rights icon Reverend Jesse Jackson, who died Tuesday at the age of 84, we air remarks by Senator Bernie Sanders from a 2024 tribute held during the Democratic National Convention. Sanders, whose own two runs for president galvanized progressives across the United States, hailed Jackson's campaigns in 1984 and 1988 for building a broad coalition for social justice. "Jesse Jackson is one of the very most significant political leaders in this country in the last 100 years," Sanders said. "Jesse's contribution to modern history is not just bringing us together; it is bringing us together around a progressive agenda."
