Jesse Jackson: “The Fight for Civil Rights Continues”

( 2005 ) Commentary by Michael J. O'Neal, Ph.D.
  • “In truth, every generation for the past 346 years has been and is still today engaged in the struggle for full citizenship and equality.” - Paragraph 1
  • “The reason civil rights activists have been important to Black advancement is that they are not anointed to become cheerleaders for the progress that has been achieved. Rather, they have a responsibility to acknowledge progress and continue to exploit opportunities to shine the light on the unfinished business of equality in every generation.” - Paragraph 23
