Most Americans remember the Rev Jesse Jackson as a civil rights icon, a preacher who exhorted us to “keep hope alive,” and the voice on Sesame Street who taught us to say, “I am somebody” when we were kids.
In her new book, A Dream Deferred: Jesse Jackson and the Fight for Black Political Power [ [link removed] ], Abby Phillip has told the story of Jackson’s political legacy - how he challenged the Democratic Party and pushed forward the dream of a multi-ethnic democracy where everyone can thrive by exercising Black political power.
Bishop Barber and I talked with Abby about the new book, Jackson’s legacy, and moral fusion politics in this moment on Substack live today. We’re glad to be able to share our conversation with you here.
