Honestly, I'd never been a big supporter of Jesse Jackson. Of course being from SC, I knew people who knew him and my grandmother and other relatives actually grew up with him. However, this past May in Greenville at my college I got to actually meet and listen to Jesse for about 2 hours and I have to say that he's one of the best orators I've heard in a long time. He has a way of captivating the audience black AND white (and there were more whites in that room). He's more than just a talking "mouth." He has a way of getting his point across intelligently showing that there are some changes that still need to be made in this country. People can ignore him, they can ignore what needs to be done, but the problems still won't go away until society "WAKES UP!"
