The program will also feature insights from Dr. Clarissa Myrick-Harris White of Morehouse College, who will discuss Jackson’s role in expanding political power and civic engagement within Black communities across the country.
Jackson, who rose to national prominence as a close ally of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., went on to found the Rainbow PUSH Coalition and became one of the most recognizable voices in the fight for racial justice, economic opportunity, and voting rights.
Through decades of activism, presidential campaigns, and grassroots organizing, Jackson helped reshape conversations around equality and political representation in America.
