Jackson is known for working closely with Dr. #MartinLutherKingJr. and the #SouthernChristianLeadershipConference during the civil rights movement, and he later ran two groundbreaking presidential campaigns in 1984 and 1988, when he pushed to cut the Pentagon budget while increasing domestic spending on #education, #housing and #healthcare. Jackson was also involved in international campaigns from the #AntiApartheid struggle in #SouthAfrica to supporting #Palestinian self-determination. We remember his legacy and air interviews from his many appearances on Democracy Now! over the years."
