Reflecting on the passing of Rev. Jesse Jackson — a figure whose life was intertwined with America’s civil rights history. 🇺🇸 While many remember his early courage alongside Dr. King and the strides made on voting rights and opportunity, it’s worth acknowledging that Jackson’s later years also symbolized the fractures in American politics and identity. 👀
As I write in my column, “The Passing of Jesse Jackson — A Complicated Legacy in a Divided America,” we can honor the work that broadened access and voice in our nation, while also having honest conversations about how his brand of identity politics has shaped and sometimes strained our national discourse. 📉📈
True patriotism shouldn’t be about watering down history — it’s about looking at it clearly, learning from it, and building a future where equal opportunity unites us, not divides us. 🇺🇸🙏
