PRESS STATEMENT - A FREEDOM FIGHTER HAS FALLEN

As the world mourns the loss of the iconic and historic life of the Rev. Jesse Louis Jackson, let us not focus on our loss, but let us focus on our gain. Through this soldier, warrior, spiritual and faithful disciple for the ultimate dignity and respect of all people, we must pledge to continue his deeds. It is the deeds of Rev. Jackson that serves as a marker for all those who believe in freedom and justice.
