"I've made mistakes, and I'm prayerful and hopeful that we're a country of second chances, that the American people and the people of the city of Chicago will consider me for a second chance," Jesse Jr. said Thursday.  

Your family’s contribution goes back to the founding of the Civil Rights Movement.  We must all remember that Rev. Jackson was one of the one’s who worked long and hard with Dr. King throughout the struggle, and remember - Reverend Jackson was one of the hard workers who comforted Dr. King when he was assissinated, and he was one of the ones who was "pointing" at thee window where the shots came from --- and not Rev. Sharpton, a person I respect also.

Talking about assignations, WE tend to buy into the media assassinations when it comes to our Black Brothers.   Often times it's deliberate, but sometimes not intentional ... just stereotypes and ignorance ... and we tend to fall into place. 

We need to remember the adage: “Believe none (very little) of what you hear (from the media), and only half of what you see.” ― Benjamin Franklin “.

Lest we forget – that’s Rev. Jackson second from left.  Right photo is that day the world will never forget.
