It took us a while to dig through archives to find some of the photos we had of the great Rev. Jesse Jackson. Our Founder and CEO, Dr. Stephné Coney, had the wonderful opportunity of working with Rev. Jackson during her Tunica, MS project while in undergrad at Johnson C. Smith University. He was a true inspiration, an outspoken leader, and someone who tried to further our fight for equality. May he rest in peace.
