I highly recommend taking the time to watch Jesse Jackson's memorial

The speakers and speeches are amazing!

You will learn more about Jesse and how wonderful he was.
You will feel empowered.

Take the time this weekend to watch the speeches.
It will be available on YouTube and maybe other forums as well.
It is here on DU.

I didn't always agree with his policies while he was in office, mainly with his letting Wall Street get away with trashing the US economy and especially the mortgage market, but, man, can he speechify and uplift the audience, including me! He needs to get out on the campaign trail this year and inspire Democrats to vote, vote, vote!
