ANALYSISJESSE JACKSON SR. AND GRACE JI-SUN KIM  |  OCTOBER 28, 2020

It was wonderful to be interviewed by Jenn White of WBEZ Radio produced by Daniel Tucker on latest book Keeping Hope Alive: Sermons & Speeches of Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr.

The book is being read widely and is already in third printing in 2 months of being published.

Please read it for Black History Month as the book itself is a living document of where the civil rights movement has changed and affected many aspects of American politics, culture and society.
