The Rainbow PUSH Coalition’s new leader will be the Rev. Frederick D. Haynes III, senior pastor of Dallas’ Friendship-West Baptist Church.
“I am somebody,” he said. “Green or yellow, brown, Black or white, we’re all perfect in God’s eyes. Everybody is somebody. Stop the violence. Save the children. Keep hope alive.”
Jesse Jackson has been battling Parkinson’s disease for the last eight years. He suffered a host of health setbacks in 2021, beginning with gallbladder surgery, a COVID-19 infection that landed him in a physical therapy-focused facility and a fall at Howard University that caused a head injury. Before Barack Obama was elected president in 2008, Jackson had been the most successful Black presidential candidate. He won 13 primaries and caucuses in his push for the 1988 Democratic nomination, which went to Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis.
“He is an authentic genius,” Daniel said. “[Jackson] had the unparalleled capacity to frame and articulate ... political strategy in a way common, ordinary people could understand it.”
