Jesse Jackson to children on Sesame Street and around the world: "I am somebody. I may be poor, but I am somebody. I may be young, but I am somebody. I may be on welfare, but I am somebody... My clothes are different. My face is different. My hair is different, but I am somebody" Rest in peace Sir.

In 1984, Jesse Jackson became the first Black candidate to win a presidential primary contest and qualify for the ballot in all 50 states.

Campaigning under the slogan “Now Is The Time,” Jackson won more than three million votes and four contests in the Democratic primary.
