American Hero Jesse Jackson Has Left Us

Jesse Jackson was a true American hero. He was a vital part of the Civil Rights movement and a national politician who changed our country for the better. 

He ran for president as a Democrat in 1984 and 1988. I am proud to say I was a Jackson delegate in both those campaigns to the Texas State Democratic Convention. He did not win the nomination, but he helped open the door for others (like Barack Obama).

The United States is a better country ...
