Rest in power to Rev. Jesse Jackson ✊🏾
A son of the South, shaped at North Carolina A&T State University, Rev. Jackson never stopped pouring back into HBCUs.
From campus organizing in the ‘60s to showing up at graduations decades later, he understood our HBCUs weren't just schools, but launchpads for leadership, protest, innovation, and Black economic power.
Jackson was a true representation of legacy & leadership.
Thank you for your courage & dedication 🙏🏾
