00:00Yesterday I listened for several hours of three United States presidents who do
00:18not know Jesse Jackson. He maintained a tense relationship with the political order, not
00:32because the presidents were white or black, but the demands of our message, the demands
00:41of speaking for the least of these, those who were disinherited, the damned, the dispossessed,
00:48the disrespected, demanded not Democratic or Republican solutions, but demanded a consistent,
01:00prophetic voice that at no point in time ever sold us out as a people. And it speaks volumes
01:11about who the Reverend Jesse Jackson was. Our message has already been delivered today.
01:21I can see it all over my mother's face. Rise, Jesse, rise. Give Jonathan Jackson another great
01:31round of applause for delivering our family message to the world. Let's hear it for the congressman.
01:51There will be no different message that leaves this service than the one that Jonathan Jackson
01:57has blessed us with.
