Keep Hope Alive- Jesse Jackson's Moral Imagination

We lost another giant of human and civil rights.

Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. died on February 17 at the age of 84.

His passing gives us occasion to reflect on his life, his faith, and his moral imagination.

What stands out to me about Jesse Jackson’s death in this moment is how he practiced politics.

He wanted to form a 🌈 Rainbow Coalition that would be participatory and inclusive.

Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition stands in stark contrast to what this regime is attempting to implement--a narrow, exclusionary politics. In other words, white Christian nationalism.
