The passing of the Reverend Jesse Jackson is a reminder of the importance of HBCU life and culture to American society. A native of Greenville, South Carolina, Reverend Jackson became a trailblazer from a young age. From being part of the Greenville Eight as a young college student in 1960, to becoming a trusted aid of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. while still in his 20s, to leading two remarkable campaigns for president in the 1980s, Jesse Jackson always stood as a champion of the oppressed and a cheerleader for earning a quality education. Like so many other HBCUs, Claflin University Department of Humanities mourns the passing of a champion of justice and sends our condolences to Rev. Jackson’s family and friends.
