Jesse Jackson’s death during Black History Month magnifies an immense loss | Jenice Armstrong
After the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s death, Jackson picked up the mantle of leading the civil rights movement. His passing — when Black history is under assault — seems to hit especially hard.

I think it’s fitting that the Rev. Jesse Jackson would die during Black History Month. Here I am interviewing Jackson in 2018 in Memphis near the balcony where Martin Luther King was assassinated. Credit: Frosty Photos.

Trump’s sharing of a racist video of the Obamas on Truth Social is beyond the pale, even for him | Jenice Armstrong
Trump is a petty, vindictive man whose obsession with the Obamas goes way back. It began in 2011, when Trump deliberately started a campaign of lies about Obama.
