Sen. Raphael Warnock lauds Jesse Jackson: "He gave me a glimpse of what's possible in America"

Rev. Jesse Jackson, the influential civil rights leader who paved the way for Barack Obama's presidency, died Tuesday according to his family announcement, as Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock of Georgia joins 'The Takeout' to discuss the legacy of this audacious political force. Jackson's death marks the end of an era for American civil rights activism, as he was one of the most prominent voices for racial equality and social justice for decades. The Georgia senator, who also made history as the first Black man to represent his state in the Senate, reflected on Jackson's impact during his appearance on CBS's 'The Takeout' program, highlighting how Jackson's groundbreaking work demonstrated what was possible for African Americans in American politics and society. Jackson's career spanned several decades, including his role as a close advisor to Martin Luther King Jr., his presidential campaigns in the 1980s, and his continued activism through his Rainbow PUSH Coalition, leaving a legacy that inspired generations of civil rights leaders including President Obama and Sen. Warnock himself.
