Reverend Jesse Jackson spread a message of hope and confidence to Black students in Los Angeles as part of a self-help program. In 1977, he told students, “Down with dope, up with hope. Nobody will save us from us for us, but us." Rev. Jackson, the famed civil rights leader who marched alongside Martin Luther King Jr., died Tuesday morning at the age of 84. #jessejackson #revjessejackson
