Remembering Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr.
(note: See the 'In Memoriam' page for Homegoing Arrangements) ( updated 2/25)
In the following clip, from May, 1979, Reverend Jackson meets with the late PLO leader, Chairman Yasser Arafat, to discuss the prospect for lasting peace in the Middle East, which, unfortunately, seems as elusive in 2026, as it did in 1979.

note: Yasser Arafat was Chairman of the PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization) from 1969, until his death in 2004, and it is fair to say that the Palestinian people have not had effective leadership since his death. It is also fair to say that America should not be calling the shots in this or any other region that she does not officially govern, and that the Palestinian people have a right to be free of her meddling... a right to self determination ... and a right to a two state solution to what can only be described as an endless, senseless crisis ... funded by America.
