America through the eyes of Reverend Jesse Jackson | 60 Minutes Australia

US civil rights icon Jesse Jackson has died after being hospitalised in recent months for progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). He was 84. A protégé of Martin Luther King Jr, Reverend Jackson became one of history's leading voices in America's fight for justice and equality. He ran for the White House twice in the 1980s, and although unsuccessful, his vision inspired and reshaped not just the Democratic Party but also a global activism for freedom. In the aftermath of the death of George Floyd in 2020, Reverend Jackson reflected on the political climate in the United States.
