Honouring the Legacy of Rev. Jesse Jackson: A Personal Tribute on Times Radio

Rev. Jesse Jackson, the iconic figure in politics and civil rights leadership, has gone to the ancestors.

For decades, he stood as a powerful and unrelenting voice for justice and equality, helping to shape political discourse and civil rights advocacy both in the United States and globally. His passing marked the end of an extraordinary chapter in the ongoing struggle for dignity, representation, and fairness.

On 17th February, I joined Hugo Rifkind on Times Radio to offer my personal tribute and reflect on Rev. Jackson’s enduring legacy and impact.
