โPresident Mahama sent 300 Ghanaians back to Ghana. Tell me how many jobs have been created since then. These foreigners do the jobs you donโt want to do and are often underpaid. You refuse to do these so-called โslave jobsโ because you want jobs with benefits and pensions, yet you still claim foreigners are taking your jobs, which is not true.โ

The Rev. Jesse L. Jackson Sr. was a legendary voice for the voiceless, powerful civil rights champion and trailblazer extraordinaire.
For decades, while laboring in the vineyards of the community, he inspired us to keep hope alive in the struggle for liberty and justice for all.
We are thankful for the incredible service of Rev. Jesse Jackson to the nation and his profound sacrifice as the peopleโs champion.
May he forever rest in power.
The grandstands sound so quiet this morning.
I remember vividly the first time I had a front-row seat. He stopped by my church, stepped into my office, and said with that unmistakable blend of warmth and audacity, โI thought it would be a shame for us to live and die in the same era and never meet each other.โ He was uniquely gifted. Steadfast in conviction. A bridge builder when others were creating barricades. He expanded access and opportunity for countless Americans long told to โwait their turnโ. He never feared taking a position or confronting opposition. His message and methodology were controversial to some, but always courageous.
Those who witnessed him at the zenith of his roar will remember him standing in the worldโs
fiercest arenasโnegotiating the release of hostages when diplomacy had stalled, traveling to Syria during the Cold War when tensions were high and trust was thin. Not with governmental authority, but with the moral authority of conviction, meeting directly with President Hafez al-Assad.
A paradigm shifted when he entered one of the grandest coliseums and ran for the presidency.
Whether cheered or jeered from the stands, he was a gladiator for his community and a relentless champion for change. Today, the coliseum is quiet. The lions return to their lairs; the gladiator has laid down his armor. Others will follow the path he forged, but the echo of his voice will endure. Our arenas were different and our methods distinct, yet when our paths crossed I was humbled, a convergence of callings, united by love for our people, each willing to lend our voice when the other called.
There will not be another quite like him. Thank you, Reverend Jesse Jackson, for the battles you fought and the hope you ignited. โKeep hope aliveโ is now a torch in our hands. In these tempestuous times, when hopeโs pulse may feel faint, we must carry it forward.
To his beloved wife, family, and close friends, you have lost more than the world can measure.
Our prayers are with you in your private memories as the world honors him publicly.
Today, we mourn the loss of Rev. Jesse Jackson, a titan of the Civil Rights Movement. Jacksonโs tireless work and leadership lives on in the millions he inspired to continue his legacy of making our country a more just place for all. Rest in peace.
We honour the life and legacy of Jesse Jackson, a steadfast voice for justice whose advocacy extended far beyond borders.
Rev. Jackson stood with #Africa in moments of struggle and transformation. Supporting liberation movements, opposing apartheid, and strengthening ties between the continent and its diaspora. He believed deeply in #PanAfrican solidarity and the shared destiny of people of #Africandescent worldwide.
His legacy lives on in the enduring bond between Africa and its diaspora, and in the continued pursuit of dignity, equality, and justice.

Reverend Jackson never stopped working for a better America with brighter tomorrows. Hillaryโs and my full statement on the passing of our dear friend:
Compagnon de Martin Luther King, Jesse Jackson, promoteur infatigable des droits civiques, nโa cessรฉ de dรฉfendre la paix, la justice et la fraternitรฉ.
Il a partagรฉ les valeurs des Lumiรจres universelles au cลur de notre projet rรฉpublicain.
Sa disparition est une perte immense.
Michelle and I were deeply saddened to hear about the passing of a true giant, the Reverend Jesse Jackson. We will always be grateful for Jesse's lifetime of service, and the friendship our families share. We stood on his shoulders. We send our deepest condolences to the Jackson family and everyone in Chicago and beyond who knew and loved him.
This is what the CIC once said about white people and white farmers. What the @afriforum and Trump is doing today reminded me of this clip of the CIC @Julius_S_Malema

Why would Congolese citizens be celebrating the capture of their city by M23 rebels? Itโs because the issue of Congo is more complicated than we have been made to believe. #M23areCongolese.

Dikembe Mutombo was an incredible basketball player โ one of the best shot blockers and defensive players of all time. But he also inspired a generation of young people across Africa, and his work as the NBAโs first global ambassador changed the way athletes think about their impact off the court. Michelle and I are thinking of Dikembeโs family and everyone who knew and loved him.
