Answer:
The Reverend Jesse Jackson was an associate of Martin Luther King who is still active in civil rights issues today.
Step-by-step explanation:
Jesse Jackson, born October 8, 1941 in Greenville, South Carolina, is an American Baptist minister. A political activist for civil rights, especially those of African Americans, he was a candidate, with a very progressive program, for the nomination of the Democratic Party for the presidential elections, in 1984 and in 1988.
After the symbolic candidacy of Shirley Chisholm and before that of Barack Obama, he was the first African-American to get enough support for a chance to win the Democratic Party primary: in 1984 he came third with 18.09% of the vote and second in 1988 with 29.12% of the vote.
