He Was Somebody

 

Here in Chicago, we were used to seeing Jesse Jackson these last years in his diminished state.  Still out and about, but yet…

So when he died last week, I was so glad to know he is still a national story. I liked spending time again with his presidential campaigns and his influence in the Democratic party and on the country.

But best of all was the clip of his time with the children reciting :  “I am somebody,” 

Thanks Jessie.  It’s tough — but important right now — to “Keep Hope Alive.”
