Sat 1st Breakout #6: THE PIVOTAL ROLE OF JESSE JACKSON
By: Carrie Lightner
Many of us know ABBY PHILLIP as the insightful and deeply prepared CNN anchor of NewsNight with Abby Phillip. Her journalistic gifts are much on display in her stirring new biography, A Dream Deferred: Jesse Jackson and the Fight for Black Political Power. Known for his soaring rhetoric, the flamboyant Jackson was a dynamic and sometimes controversial figure who played a pivotal role in American politics and the post-Dr. King civil rights movement in the late 20th century. In conversation with TODD S. PURDUM, a veteran journalist and acclaimed biographer, Phillip will talk about the many sides of the late Jesse Jackson and why she chose to write about him.

TBD
