Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop
And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below 🥹)

Jesse Jackson’s 1988 convention speech was exceptional. Masterfully delivered, emotionally moving, yes.
It’s also vision for government as a means to improve lives and society.
It’s hard to reconcile this with Clinton just 4 yrs later.
Anyway, start at ~20 mins. The peroration is just epic.

Every right-wing accusation is a confession: "Indeed, for much of the 2010s and likely before and since, it appears the crime rate of CBP agents and offices was higher PER CAPITA than the crime rate of undocumented immigrants in the United States."
I testified Friday before Gov. Pritzker's commission studying abuses of ICE and CBP and tried to explain how the agencies went so far off track. It's actually way worse than I ever realized. Please read and share my testimony as Congress considers reform: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountabi...

However bad you think the corruption and misconduct at ICE and CBP is — the reality is far far worse.
