It’s been an emotional morning. Jesse Jackson died today.
This poem he recited to these children on Sesame Street in 1973 was what America was striving towards. We can get there again.
We are all somebody.

Jesse Jackson appeared on Sesame Street in 1973.
During his appearance, he led a group of children in reciting his well-known poem “I Am Somebody,” a message focused on self-worth and empowerment
The segment became one of the most memorable celebrity appearances from the early seasons of the show.

You were definitely one of the greats. While I loved your work in many movies, my favorite was 𝘚𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘓𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴. Thank you for Hub McCann--the tough, adventurous, lion-hearted great-uncle who lived a legendary life of battles, fortunes, and one true love.
Goodnight and godspeed, Robert Duvall. 🕯️

Yesterday the students in one of my classes discussed this excellent 2018 article by historian Chris Bonner which opens with this incredible story of direct action from 1837 that, sadly, hits especially hard in 2026.

Goldman: You said references to ICE as secret police encourages threats. The problem is you have it backwards sir. People are making valid observations about your tactics which are outright fascist. If you don’t want to be called a fascist regime, stop acting like one.

Jack Duffy attaches a respirator to his bagpipes to play through tear gas. “I always play it whenever the police retreat because it's like, ‘You fucking ran while we stayed,’” he says.
