 | A congressman from the U.S. House of Representatives... Jesse L. Jackson, Jr. | |
Having grown up on the picket lines of the Civil Rights Movement, Representative Jesse L. Jackson, Jr. is no stranger to politics. In 1995, he was sworn in as a member of the 104th Congress, the 91st African American ever elected to the nation's governing body. His longtime involvement as an anti-apartheid crusader led to him being the only American to share the stage with Nelson Mandela during his historic speech to the world following a 27-year imprisonment in Cape Town. | ||
