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.

1000182_654508521230527_628733213_nI am reposting Santita Jackson’s heartfelt Father’s Day tribute to her father, Rev. Jesse Jackson.

I want to wish everyone a Blessed Father’s Day…

This is a great and necessary holiday—though, sadly, it is a holiday that fills many with ambivalence, anger, hurt or disappointment. My heart breaks for those who have t…hose feelings. The absence of your Father from your life leaves you wanting throughout the course of your life. I have seen it in my own Father—in his longings for his Father’s presence and protection. At 71, his pain is still raw. It is a pain that—no matter what the current conversation asserts—no one but a Father can ease; and his absence can only be filled by him. Continue reading →
