Jesse Jackson
Often underrated in the pantheon of historical significance, Jesse Jackson’s inputs helped shape the racial politics in modern U.S. He was preaching intersectionality before it became a buzzword for the Twitterati.
Prior to Barack Obama, Jackson was the most successful African-American to run for the U.S. presidency. In 1984 and 1988, Jackson had varying degrees of success to become the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee.
In 1988, apart from the usual call for the rights and dignity of black people, Jackson asked Americans to recognize Palestine as a state while calling out Israel’s atrocities. He was also against higher taxes on America’s richest 10% and demanded a cut in military spending up to 15%.
Jackson also demanded the creation of a single-payer health care system.
