Jesse Jackson mug

Jesse Jackson was an American civil rights activist, politician, and ordained Baptist minister. During Jackson's famous "Rainbow Coalition" speech in 1984 he said:

“America is not like a blanket—one piece of unbroken cloth, the same color, the same texture, the same size. America is more like a quilt: many patches, many pieces, many colors, many sizes, all woven and held together by a common thread. The white, the Hispanic, the black, the Arab, the Jew, the woman, the native American, the small farmer, the businessperson, the environmentalist, the peace activist, the young, the old, the lesbian, the gay, and the disabled make up the American Quilt”

Jackson's call and response recitation of the poem "I Am Somebody" with children on Sesame Street is captivating and inspiring.
