Hello ,
It is with great sorrow that we acknowledge the recent passing of Jesse Jackson, a towering figure in the civil rights movement and American politics.

Please take a few minutes to read this important article about Reverend Jackson. He changed the trajectory for women, especially for Black women, in the Democratic Party and in leadership spaces, leaving a legacy of empowerment, inclusion, and political possibility.
