Edwin B. Henderson II is the author of the book, The Grandfather of Black Basketball: The Life and Times of Dr. E. B. Henderson. Henderson is the grandson and namesake of Dr. E. B. Henderson who organized the first athletic league for Blacks, introduced basketball to Black people on a wide-scale, organized basis, and founded associations to train and organize Black officials and referees. He also wrote and co-edited the first Spalding publication that highlighted the exploits of African American participation in sports and authored The Negro in Sports. Outside of athletics, Henderson was instrumental in founding the first rural branch of the NAACP, advocated for school desegregation, and held executive board positions with multiple NAACP branches.Overlooked for decades, Henderson and his wife, Nikki, began nominating Dr. E. B. Henderson to be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2005, and after eight years, EB was finally enshrined in 2013as a contributor. The Grandfather of Black Basketball gives long-overdue recognition to a sports pioneer, civil rights activist, author, educator, and pragmatic humanitarian who fought his entire life to improve opportunities for youth through athletics.On this episode Mike & Ed discuss the extraordinary contributions of Dr. E.B. Henderson, a pioneering figure in the realm of basketball and a dedicated civil rights activist. We delve into the historical significance of his establishment of the first sanctioned athletic league for African Americans, which enabled equitable access to sports when existing white leagues refused participation. Through the lens of his grandson, Edwin B. Henderson II, we explore the impact of Dr. Henderson's initiatives, including the formation of the Eastern Board of Officials, which facilitated organized sports within the African American community. The discussion further highlights the long-overdue recognition of Dr. Henderson's legacy, culminating in his induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, an accolade that underscores his pivotal role in shaping the sport.

Although it cost Him is Part-Time Job while a Teenager, He held on to his Beliefs to Stay in the Fight, even getting Arrested Several times & Tear Gassed, Cattle Prod Shocked, Attack Dogs & Fire Hosed because he stood with others to Petition the the Governor for the Right for Blacks to Vote.Rev. Clarence Varner served  The United States in the Marine Corps for 8 years & served in during Vietnam during the War , he was wounded. Today he serves his God,  Country & Community in the continued fight for Civil Rights*In 1965, Blacks could not: *go to eat, Blacks were served at the Side or Back Door.*Social Movie Theatres, & Clubs too*Schools in the South & other State were Segregated*Housing was Segregated in Much of America. Redlining was the norm.* Thriving Middle Class Black Business's in Black Communities were forced out of Business due to the Federal Highway's that were built OVER that land.* Separate water Fountains & Bathrooms*Separate Transportation on Buses & Trains, etc.* Upper Corporate Jobs were not opened to most Blacks These Marches were ignited by the Death of SCLC local Jimmie Lee JacksonWhat did Jimmie Lee Jackson accomplish?Jimmie Lee Jackson, was a Vietnam veteran, Baptist deacon, activist and martyr of the Civil Rights Movement. Jackson, active in the fight for equal rights, had tried multiple times to register to vote in Alabama and was denied each time.When Jimmie Lee Jackson saw his frail 80-year-old grandfather rudely turned away from the registrar's office in 1962 after attempting to register to vote in Marion, Ala. He knew he had to join the civil rights movement.On Feb. 18, 1965, he was among more than 200 people participating in a night march in Marion. Before they had walked a block, they were confronted by state troopers and the police chief, who ordered them to disperse.Jackson and his mother huddled for safety in a café. When Jackson's grandfather entered the café bloodied and beaten, the young man tried to take him to a hospital. But they were quickly shoved back by a crowd of club-swinging troopers and terrified marchers. Another trooper pulled his pistol and shot Jackson in the stomach. It was two hours before Jackson arrived at the hospital in Selma. He died eight days later.At one of two services for Jackson, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. told a crowd of 2,000: “Jimmie Lee Jackson's death says to us that we must work passionately and unrelentingly to make the American dream a reality. His death must prove that unmerited suffering does not go unredeemed.”© 2026 Building Abundant Success!!2026 All Rights ReservedJoin Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy:  https://tinyurl.com/BASAud

Dave Rennie's All Blacks era begins, and we're diving straight into the deep end.In this episode of The Bonus Point (recorded live at Three Weavers Brewing Company in Inglewood CA), Tj is joined by Alfonso Horomia (Pig Athletic - Rugby Heads Podcast) to break down one of the biggest coaching storylines in New Zealand rugby: Dave Rennie replacing Scott “Razor” Robertson as All Blacks head coach. We unpack how Robertson's tenure unraveled, what Rennie's Māori and Cook Islands background and coaching journey (Chiefs, Wallabies, Glasgow, Kobe) bring back to the black jersey, and why current and former players are so bullish on his ability to rebuild culture, clarity and edge. We also look ahead to the brutal “Rugby's Greatest Rivalry” tour of South Africa and ask what a long, old-school tour against the Springboks could do for this new-look All Blacks side.In the second half, we shift into Super Rugby Pacific mode. After four rounds, we talk through who's actually setting the pace: the Brumbies' consistency, the Chiefs' attacking fireworks, the Hurricanes' statement win, and what Beauden Barrett's return means for the Blues. We pick out early-season standouts, surprise performers, and a few red flags for the traditional powerhouses.To finish, we hit our Bonus Point segment with some fast-paced, rugby-themed questions and predictions to tie everything together—Rennie, the Boks tour, and the Super Rugby race.

Dave Rennie is set to take over as the next All Blacks coach, after weeks of speculation. This comes three years after former Rugby Australia chair Hamish McLennan sacked Rennie as Wallabies coach and replaced him with Eddie Jones just before the 2023 Rugby World Cup. McLennan joined Piney to discuss the news - and look ahead to the next World Cup. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The new All Blacks coach was appointed this week – Dave Rennie succeeding Scott Robertson in the role. It came down to two candidates – Rennie and Jamie Joseph, and according to NZ Rugby Chair David Kirk, it was Rennie's experience that took him over the line. Former All Black Keven Mealamu was a member of the recruitment panel, and told Piney both candidates had the skill set necessary to coach, but Rennie's ability to build strong cultures, and his pursuit of excellence and high standards really stood out.

Dave Rennie has been picked as the new All Blacks coach. He was the head coach for the Wallabies from 2020 to 2023, before his 38% win record saw him sacked and replaced by Eddie Jones. Australia Correspondent Adam Peacock joined Piney to discuss the reaction to his appointment across the ditch. Plus, they discussed the first round of the NRL season and the glitz and glamour surrounding Melbourne with the start of the Formula 1 season.

SOULDIES SUNDAY [WITTY BLACKS X RICHIE POO] by Coppershot Music

The All Blacks have a new head coach. After weeks of guessing games, Dave Rennie has landed the most prestigious and scrutinised job in the country. Sports reporter Jonty Dine spoke to Lisa Owen.

David Rennie has been named the new All Blacks coach, beating out Jamie Joseph for what many call the most pressured job in world rugby. The former Chiefs and Wallabies coach will lead the national team through to the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia Rennie also becomes the first All Blacks coach with Pasifika heritage. For reaction veteran sports journalist and broadcaster Phil Gifford chats to Jesse.

Rugby: Nieu-Seeland se nuwe hoofafrigter, Dave Rennie, sê hy is opgewonde oor die toer in Suid-Afrika later vanjaar. Die Springbokke is in Augustus en September gashere vir die All Blacks. Drie van die vier toetse word in Johannesburg en Kaapstad gespeel, en die ander een die eerste keer in Amerika. Rennie sê hy sien uit na die vooruitsig van ses intense weke op Suid-Afrikaanse bodem:

Nic Gill has been the All Blacks head of performance for more than 20 years and has recently taken up a position with the NFL side the Baltimore Ravens as their new Vice President of Health and Performance where he will lead integrated efforts across the Strength and Conditioning, Medical, Nutrition and sports science teams.

After weeks of deliberation, the new All Blacks head coach has been named. Dave Rennie is succeeding Scott Robertson in the role, beating out the other top contender, Jamie Joseph. Rennie's first test at the helm will be in the July series against France, Italy, and Ireland, but his assistants have still yet to be named. NZ Rugby Chair David Kirk told Mike Hosking that the panel spent hours discussing the merits of the two candidates, and were very rigorous and analytical in discussing their strengths and relative weaknesses. He says they concluded quite firmly and certainly unanimously that Rennie was the person they wanted to appoint. WATCH ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Top-tier experience and a systematic approach to rugby have won Dave Rennie the All Blacks' head coach job. After nine years offshore, the former Chiefs mentor will return home - appointed Scott Robertson's successor. New Zealand Rugby chair David Kirk has outlined what ultimately gave Rennie the edge. "The game is very global at the moment, innovation's coming from lots of different parts of the world, and I think we've got, frankly, plenty to learn from the rest of the world. So he can bring that back to us." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New All Blacks head coach Dave Rennie has no doubt New Zealand can win next year's Rugby World Cup in Australia. The two-time Super Rugby-winning coach is taking over from Scott Robertson less than a year and a half before the showpiece tournament. Rennie says it will take a power of work and alignment in a short amount of time, but the All Blacks have the goods. Sportstalk host D'Arcy Waldegrave explains why Rennie was picked. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tonight on The Huddle, Tim Wilson from the Maxim Institute and Ali Jones from Red PR joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day - and more! Dave Rennie has been confirmed as the new head coach of the All Blacks. What do we think of this? Do we think this was the right choice? US and Israeli forces have killed close to 800 people in Iran, struck about 2000 Iranian targets and destroyed 17 ships. Israel's also killed dozens in Lebanon, going head-to-head with Hezbollah, forcing thousands to flee their homes. Are we concerned by this development? The Children's Commissioner says Oranga Tamariki needs to heed a critical report on the agency, after new research confirmed there's been little progress on National Care Standards. Do we think this is fair? LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A change in scale beckons for strength and conditioning guru Nic Gill as he trades the All Blacks for the NFL's Ravens. Gill's leaving after 18 years in the role to take up a newly created position at the Baltimore franchise. He told Mike Hosking that while his work will largely be the same, he'll operate in a money-is-no-obstacle environment. Gill says the facilities are ridiculous and mindblowing – they have everything one could need, and not just one of them, they have ten. He has told the Herald he wanted to announce his job change before the new All Blacks coach is appointed, but is willing to help NZR find a successor.

 If you go back and look at the history of how Blacks in America have been limited in their pursuit of the American Dream by way of home ownership, the record is staggering.  Historically there have been racial covenants, redlining, predatory mortgage lending, blockbusting, urban renewal and now we can add a new pernicious tool: property tax foreclosures.  Our guest, Professor Bernadette Atuahene, the author of “Plundered: How Racist Policies Undermine Black Homeownership in America,” describes, chapter and verse, how this practice has been done in Detroit, the focus of the book’s case study.  Yet, this tactic, along with the others listed above, have been commonplace throughout the nation.  You will find in listening to this podcast that our guest is clear-eyed about the many machinations which have grown the wealth disparity in our nation.  The transfer of wealth from one generation to another is a product of home ownership: thus, the vast differentials between races.  She will acquaint you with terms like ‘structural injustice’, ‘predatory governance, ‘ and ‘acts of legal violence.’  Many practices we would all find objectionable in this age are hiding in plain sight.  After listening to this podcast, you will be much better equipped to identify them.  And like the scholar/activist our guest is, perhaps, you can do something in your community to remedy them.

The ARP crew deep dive into All Blacks coaching candidates Dave Rennie and Jamie Joseph as a decision draws nearer. What styles do they coach and which suits the All Blacks best?We're joined by former Wallabies lock Justin Harrison to talk about Dave Rennie's legacy in Australia, as well as the Aussie teams topping Super Rugby.Plus, we look at round four of the Six Nations.

(DR. TONY MARTIN) On the truth about the Transatlantic Slavery Complex & 'The Jewish Onslaught... Dispatches from the Wellesley Battlefront / ALTERNATIVE FORUM CANADA

Send a textEloquently spoken Sabrina Harris shares stories from a lynching in Alabama that forces her family to become part of the Great Migration. In this movement, approximately six million African Americans moved from the rural Southern United States to the urban North, Midwest, and West between 1910 and 1970.  This story strongly echoes the ones from “The Warmth of Other Suns”, the historical study by Isabel Wilkerson. With insight into how some Blacks, at times, feared the means to achieve Civil Rights, Haris speaks of her desire for change as a teenager, and her recollections about the night Barack Obama was elected President of the United States. She speaks about hope for our nation's future. If there is only one podcast episode you listen to this year, the conversation with Sabrina Harris is the one to hear and learn from.

In Episode #1161 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards returns from a brief mental detox, energized and ready to dive into a packed discussion. Kicking things off with American excellence on Testosterone Tuesday, Clay celebrates Team USA Hockey's gold medal win over Canada—their first since the 1980 Miracle on Ice. He highlights the badassery of players like Jack Hughes, who sported a broken tooth while clinching victory, and the epic locker room call from President Trump, complete with an invite to the State of the Union. Clay revels in the liberal meltdowns over the patriotic vibes and shares clips of the team's hero's welcome.   Shifting gears, Clay unleashes on California Governor Gavin Newsom's Atlanta speech, where Newsom code-switches to relate to a black audience by admitting his dyslexia and low SAT score, essentially implying shared struggles. Clay calls it out as condescending and plays clips of other Democrats' gaffes, including Joe Biden equating poor kids to white kids, Hillary Clinton's hot sauce pandering, and Governor Kathy Hochul claiming Bronx kids don't know what computers are. He argues these reveal the left's low expectations and double standards.   Clay also touches on personal anecdotes, like his pet peeves with restaurant sides, a shoutout to retiring wrestler AJ Styles, and frustration with politics invading sports. Wrapping up, he critiques the GOP's cult-like push for school choice in Kentucky despite voter rejection, and drops boxing news: a broke Floyd Mayweather is set for a rematch with Manny Pacquiao on Netflix in September.   Tune in for unfiltered takes on culture wars, patriotism, and hypocrisy—Clay holds nothing back!  

In this fiery segment from Episode #1161 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards unleashes on California Governor Gavin Newsom's Atlanta debacle, calling it straight-up racism disguised as relatability. Newsom rolls into a room full of black residents, code-switches like a pandering politician, and essentially tells them to their faces: "I'm just like y'all—I can't read either." Boasting about his dyslexia and low 960 SAT score while slowing down his speech "for the people in the back," Newsom implies shared stupidity, yet the audience claps like trained seals instead of bum-rushing the stage. Clay breaks it down: This is the same guy who speed-reads a 263-page book in under two hours on his podcast with white folks, but suddenly he's illiterate when facing black crowds? Hypocrisy alert!   Clay plays the clips, roasting Newsom's lizard-like shape-shifting and tying it to a pattern of white Democrats' condescension—like Joe Biden saying poor kids are as smart as white kids, Hillary Clinton's hot sauce pandering, and Kathy Hochul claiming Bronx black kids don't know what computers are. He slams the Dems for treating black voters like idiots while expecting 90% loyalty, and calls out the Atlanta crowd for not standing up: "Y'all let him slap you on your mama's porch and golf-clapped? The Democrats got y'all whooped!" Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves even claps back on X, highlighting how black kids in MS outperform those in CA in reading proficiency.   Tune in for Clay's no-holds-barred rant on liberal racism, cultural double standards, and why accountability isn't hate—it's truth-seeking in the culture war!

Today's very special interview features Jennifer Jones, the first African American Rockette. Jennifer shares her story of growing up seeing Broadway shows with her parents. From a very early age, she dreamed of being on stage. She was so passionate and knew in every cell of her body that that would be her home. Jennifer talks about resilience, and what she had to break through to make her dreams come true. She talks about the dance history of the 1920s and how the Rockettes were formed in 1925. The founder thought that Americans would love to see women of the same size and race perform the exact same moves on a dance line. During this time period, Black dancers had their own troupes, as Blacks and whites did not perform together. Jennifer was hired as a Rockette in 1987. She was the very first Black woman to join the dance line. She saw an ad in the newspaper and her friend encouraged her to audition. She wasn't familiar with the Rockettes, as she'd never seen them. She saw only white women auditioning and realized she was the only Black person. She was so nervous and intimated, she decided to leave. A voice inside of her said, "Stay!" She decided to do so. She auditioned, got measured for height and weight, and the stage manager invited her to come back. Even though she went to the call back, she still didn't realize who the Rockettes were. She didn't know their history. She was hired and they immediately sent her for media training. She met with the choreographer who said she was "misquoted" by the press and that's what Jennifer needed to say during interviews. Many people, from managers to choreographers to fellow dancers, were not happy that she was on the line. Jennifer talks about being assaulted and repeatedly insulted. It took extreme perseverance on her part to follow her dreams of being on stage. She talks about how so many women auditioned and how they were not allowed to be a Rockette simply because of their skin color. Through her perseverance, her dream came true! Her groundbreaking memoir is titled "Becoming Spectacular: The Rhythm of Resilience from the First African American Rockette."  She discusses specific mentors who helped to encourage her along the way. She received fan mail, as well as difficult hate mail. Some people didn't feel she should be there, but her parents, family, and mentors helped her along the way. She was a Rockette for 15 years, then another dream came true – she danced on Broadway! She discusses how staunch and strict the "Rockettes" brand is at Radio City. She didn't feel she could speak her truth without repercussions. They are still very strict with the brand. They do allow for slightly varying heights and weights. The draw for so many is that it's an incredible precision troupe. It has evolved over the years. They are trying to include more nationalities. The main focus is still precision and elegance. Jennifer hopes that she helped to inspire the Black women on the line today so they can experience the joy of the sisterhood of being a Rockette, dancing at Radio City Music Hall.  This is Part 1 of the interview.

Dynasties are rare. Most teams rise, win for a season, and fade. A superstar retires. A coach leaves. The chemistry shifts. What once felt inevitable suddenly looks fragile. Sustained excellence is far harder than a single championship run — it requires standards that survive ego, systems that outlast individuals, and a culture strong enough to hold its shape under pressure. But a small handful of organizations manage to sustain excellence for decades — across generations, coaches, and changing eras. The real challenge isn't winning once; it's continuing to win as the faces change, the pressure intensifies, and expectations evolve — and understanding the kind of leadership that makes that possible.So here's the real question for leaders, founders, coaches, and executives: What creates sustained high performance—and how do you build a culture that wins not just once, but over generations?Welcome to Tuesdays with Morrisey. In the latest episode, host Adam Morrisey sits down with leadership consultant, speaker, and bestselling author James Kerr to explore what the legendary New Zealand All Blacks—and other elite teams—can teach us about leadership, identity, and legacy. Drawing from Kerr's global work across sport, business, and the military, the conversation dives into how culture is shaped, how identity becomes performance, and why the best teams think beyond the individual.Top takeaways…Success is often countercultural. Great teams and individuals stand out as a result of doing something different. Sometimes it's the simple and obvious things — showing up consistently, orienting toward service, lifting others up, or playing the long game. In the episode, James paraphrased Anna Karenina: “Dysfunctional teams are dysfunctional for all sorts of reasons; highly functional teams are highly functional for the same reasons.”The best teams — whether in sport, culture, or business — have shared identities, beliefs, and a sense of belonging. The All Blacks, for example, represent a nation and are committed to the idea that the team is bigger than the individual, captured in the players' effort to “leave the jersey better than you found it.” When you look at great teams and cultures, they usually share a common story, mission, vision, and values. James commented that “first we shape our story, and then our story shapes us.”Greatness often comes from humility and doing the little things right. The All Blacks have a practice of cleaning their own locker room after each game, known as “sweeping the sheds.” In each of our domains, there are things that seem small, but the true masters of the craft understand their importance.Meaning comes from deciding that something matters and then choosing to take responsibility for it. Whether at your job, in your fitness routine, or at home, there is a shift when you commit to a particular thing and own it. James gives the metaphor that levels of maturity and meaning are reflected in the number of keys on your keyring, representing the different things you are responsible for or looking after.Emotional regulation is leadership. This has been a consistent theme throughout the 65+ episodes of the podcast. In order to lead others, we must first lead ourselves, and in times of crisis, people often turn to the person who is the calmest. If we can't regulate ourselves, we risk repeating patterns and losing the ability to lead ourselves or others forward.Topics covered:Why the All Blacks are the most sustained high-performing team in historyCulture versus talent in elite performanceIdentity, story, and belonging in leadershipHumility and responsibility as cultural pillarsSweeping the sheds and servant leadershipThe haka as ritual, meaning, and psychological preparationCohesion as a competitive advantageSelf-regulation and calm under pressureLeadership as responsibilityCulture built through teamsContribution, meaning, and legacyLong-term thinking in sport, business, and lifeJames Kerr is an international leadership speaker, performance coach, and the bestselling author of Legacy: What the All Blacks Can Teach Us About the Business of Life. He works with elite sports teams—from the Premier League to Formula One—alongside Wall Street firms, leading technology companies, and military units to build high-performance cultures. Through his work, he helps leaders translate vision into standards, purpose into practice, and culture into a sustained competitive advantage.

Welcome to this fact-laden, episode of Light ‘Em Up.As we go to air - we're halfway through Black History Month.2026 marks the 100th anniversary of Black History Month, first established as "Negro History Week" by Dr. Carter G. Woodson in February 1926. The 2026 national theme is “A Century of Black History Commemorations”, honoring 100 years of recognizing the achievements and contributions of Black Americans to U.S. history.Black history is American history!We feel richly blessed and highly favored to sit down and visit, honoring Black History Month, with a dear friend of ours and a show favorite.  Dr. Sandy Womack, Jr.Dr. Womack Jr. has devoted his life to being a servant leader, educator and striving to be the best at whatever he attempts. He is an NCAA All-American wrestler with a doctorate in educational leadership, author, former principal, district administrator, equity trainer, motivational speaker, and much more.He is retired from his current role at the close of January (2026) after a generation (33+ years) of dedicating his life to urban education.This year's Black History Month arrives as our democracy is being tested in unprecedented ways, and the future of the republic hangs in the balance.Dr. Womack expressed grave concerns that we are “in an in between place similar to the times during the Reconstruction era after the Civil War (1865 – 1877) where the Federal Government sent in troops to ensure that the freed Blacks had and maintained the right to vote, to assemble, and the rights to a public education”.Based on reports, executive actions, and policy initiatives from 2025 and early 2026, the second Trump administration has pursued a broad agenda focused on rolling back diversity initiatives, changing civil rights enforcement, and altering educational and economic policies that critics argue disproportionately affect Black Americans.  And federal agents are arresting journalists (Don Lemon) and gunning down civilians in the streets.In this exclusive interview, we'll drill down on:— Assessing the pulse of the country — where are we as a nation and as people with the recent killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis?— The importance of taking an active role in the franchise (voting) how voting “changes policy, policy impacts practices and practices impact politics”.He feels deeply that the future “depends on the youth of today” — to see wide eyed the abuses and oversteps by this administration which will “serve as the catalyst to push the younger generation to the polls to vote in large and impressive ways”.He stressed the importance of “collectively coming together” and working to find some “communality” — at the end of the day, we have “more things that unite us than divide” — we sadly choose to focus and give attention to those aspects that are tribal and exacerbate division.We've strayed beyond an inflection point — democracy is actively in peril.“We have to become students of history. We have to read, write, speak and most importantly be able to think critically” to be educated and informed sufficiently to question the current status quo — for those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.He emphatically declares that: “Outcomes won't change until incomes change.” He urges all who will listen to “don't let your lying eyes fool you”.“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” ― George Orwell, 1984Tune in to our sponsors Newsly & Feedspot! We want to hear from you!Support the show

"American culture likes martyrs, not marchers." — David Masciotra, quoting Jesse JacksonA couple of days ago, a great American died. Jesse Jackson was 84. He was somebody. Even Donald Trump acknowledged the passing of "a good man"—which, as my guest today notes, Jackson probably wouldn't have appreciated. David Masciotra is the author of I Am Somebody: Why Jesse Jackson Matters, one of the most readable biographies of the African-American leader. Having spent six years covering him and more than 100 hours in conversation, he called Jackson a friend.Masciotra borrows from Jackson on Americans preferring martyrs to marchers. It's easy to celebrate him now that he's gone. But when Jesse was being Jesse—battling economic apartheid, registering millions of voters, building a Rainbow Coalition—he had many critics and enemies, including some of those hypocrites now praising him.Jackson's legacy is vast. After King's death, he focused on economic justice, securing thousands of jobs for Black workers and entrepreneurs. He ran for President twice, nearly winning the 1988 nomination. He pushed for proportional delegate allocation—without which Obama would never have won in 2008. He debated David Duke and, in Masciotra's words, "reduced him to a sputtering mess." He was the first presidential candidate to fully support gay rights. He slept beside gay men dying of AIDS in hospices. He marched with Latino immigrants from California into Mexico.But perhaps most relevant today: Jackson showed how to build a coalition that transcended racial politics without ignoring race. "If we leave the racial battleground to find economic common ground," MLK's spiritual successor insisted, "we can reach for moral higher ground." That's the populist strategy Masciotra believes the Democrats need now—a vision, he fears, trapped between the identitarian politics of its left and the milquetoast neoliberalism of its right flank. Five Takeaways●      Martyrs, Not Marchers: American culture celebrates civil rights leaders after they're dead. When Jackson was hard at it, he had enemies—including some now praising him.●      Jackson Made Obama Possible: Jackson pushed for proportional delegate allocation. Without it, Obama—who won small states—would never have beaten Clinton in 2008.●      Jackson Debated David Duke: And reduced him to a sputtering mess. Duke's response: "Jackson's intelligence isn't typical of Blacks." Jackson believed refusing debate only empowers enemies.●      Race and Class Are Linked: Jackson showed you can't substitute race for class or use race to erase class. Leave the racial battleground for economic common ground.●      Visionaries Win the Marathon: Jackson often lost the sprint but won the marathon. His Rainbow Coalition vision is what Democrats need now—and keep fumbling. About the GuestDavid Masciotra is a cultural critic, journalist, and author of I Am Somebody: Why Jesse Jackson Matters. He spent six years covering Jackson and more than 100 hours in conversation with him. He is an old friend of Keen on America.ReferencesPeople mentioned:●      Martin Luther King Jr. was Jackson's mentor. Jackson was an aide to King and was with him on the balcony the day he was assassinated.●      David Duke, former KKK leader, debated Jackson in 1988. Jackson wiped the floor with him.●      W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington represent a historic dichotomy in Black political thought. Jackson occupied space between positions.●      Rosa Parks was eulogized by Jackson, who noted that she succeeded simply because "she was available."●      Robert Kennedy shared Jackson's universal vision of coalition-building across racial lines.Organizations mentioned:●      Operation PUSH was Jackson's organization focused on economic justice for Black Americans.●      The Rainbow Coalition was Jackson's political movement seeking to unite Americans across race and class.Further reading:●      Masciotra's UnHerd piece: "Jesse Jackson Transcended America's Racial Politics"About Keen On AmericaNobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen. In Keen On America, Andrew brings his pointed Transatlantic wit to making sense of the United States—hosting daily interviews about the history and future of this now venerable Republic.

2.16.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: GOP’s SAVE Act bad for Blacks; Rickey Smiley rips hazing; Shoot victim wins $27M The House passed the SAVE Act -- a controversial election bill that would force voters to prove U.S. citizenship to register. Cliff Albright, Executive Director of Black Voters Matter, will explain why this bill echoes Jim Crow‑era tactics. The NAACP is calling on a federal judge to limit how the government can use voting records seized by the FBI in Fulton County, Georgia. More on that ahead.
