Abby Phillip released a new paperback/hardcover titled A Dream Deferred, a detailed history of Jesse Jackson's presidential campaigns and their impact on Black political power. The book was highlighted throughout the episode as a compelling and insightful work.
she's also out with a fascinating new book that I'm loving, A Dream Deferred, Jesse Jackson and the Fight for Black Political Power.
you are also the author of a brand new book, A Dream Deferred, Jesse Jackson and the Fight for Black Political Power, which is now on sale.
The other reaction I had coming through the book was just this feeling of frustration and anger that there aren't many potential Democratic candidates today who have the ability, I think like Jackson did, to speak from a place of passion and moral conviction about social and economic injustice, while also very explicitly trying to build a multiracial working class coalition.
The book is A Dream Deferred, Jesse Jackson and the Fight for Black Political Power. It's fantastic. Everyone go pick it up.
I think part of it was the story in the book about how he did a rally with farmers whose farms were being foreclosed, showing his unique outreach to rural voters.
