For all the faults that people tend to find in Rev. Jesse Jackson these days I think it's safe to say that his legacy will reflect more mightily on his positive contributions to humanity than on his personal shortcomings as a Christian man…Rev. Jesse Jackson is a special person...He is one of the few people to have actually been trained by the great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and has done very much since Dr. King's death to spread his teacher's lessons…Rev. Jesse Jackson in that way is like Plato to Dr. King's Socrates being that one had to die for what was just and right in order for the other one to keep the hope alive!!! Like the Apostle Paul did for Jesus, Rev. Jesse Jackson has spread Dr. King's message of love, justice and acceptance far and wide…Although I did not see the Rev. Jesse Jackson speak this past Friday (I was busy registering folks for the conference)...I did get a chance to meet him afterwards and asked him for an autograph for my sister…At first I thought I wouldn't have a chance being that he had a nice size entourage of brothers in suits as well as someone from a media outlet interviewing him as they made their way towards the escalator…I decided to take the staircase next to the escalator so that I can get myself together in advance and be in a better position to get his autograph…After he finished the interview Rev. Jackson hugged one of the female organizers of the conference…As Rev. Jackson and his entourage was making their way towards the door exit, I humbly called out to Rev. Jackson and asked for his autograph…
