On this episode, we look back at the life and career of Rev. Jesse Jackson. Jackson died this week at 84.
Jackson was prominent in politics and civil rights. He was a protege of Martin Luther King Jr. and was with him when King was assassinated. But his activism started early. Born in the south during Jim Crow, Jackson faced and fought back against discrimination. He later made Chicago his home.
