With Jesse Jackson gone, we are truly losing the last direct link to the inner circle of Dr. King. From the balcony at the Lorraine Motel to running for President in '84 and '88, he didn't just witness history; he bent it. People forget that his 'Rainbow Coalition' paved the way for Obama. He taught Black politicians that they could run for the highest office, not just local seats. It’s a heavy day for America.
