“Jen and I mourn the loss of one of America’s greatest civil rights champions, Reverend Jesse Jackson. His footprints are found in every civil rights movement in modern history, both as a leader and as a supporter, lending his strength and his spirit to communities around the country. Here in California, he stood with farmworkers in the fields of the Central Valley, walked the streets of Los Angeles and Oakland calling for racial and economic justice, and visited campuses throughout the state, empowering a new generation of voters and activists.
“Rev. Jackson’s legacy is one of fellowship, reminding us that we must ‘turn to each other, not on each other.’ He challenged all of us to live up to the promise of equality and justice for all, not just the privileged few. So today, we grieve his loss – and tomorrow we honor the Reverend by picking up his mantle, by keeping hope alive, and fighting for the world he dreamed of.”

GOOD
A judge just ordered the slavery history of George Washington at the Nat monument in Phila where Washington resided before the WH was ready (under construction by slaves) be restored after the racist condon ordered the displays be removed.
Displays also the Smithsonian that showed slavery were also restored after again the racist condon had them removed.
A White nationalist was nominated to a diplomatic position by the condon for international position representing America, subject to Senate approval.
It is clear the Republicans are a racist cult of White supremacists .
How far the GOP has come corrupted by billionaire $
Friendly to Authoritarians such as Orban, and Putin.
The GOP is a sorry cult of hate, anti christians.
So What!
So what monkey butt !!
