Rev. Jesse Jackson on A Different World (1989) 

One of the greatest orators, Activist, Preacher’s and Politician’s that has ever walked the earth. Someone said a Fictional show but he’s Speaking on the Facts of life. This Powerful Speech was viewed by Millions that would never watch a political rally. Smart Move Dr Cosby

He's speaking on a fictional TV show, but the emotion is totally real.

It's shows like this that need to come back on tv

This is my favorite scene from the show because it changed my outlook on life.

We love you Rev. Jessie Jackson!

I just finished watching this episode a few minutes ago. This has always been one of my favorite lectures by the reverend.

I love how Mr. Gaines was talking and his wife Myra (oops) Velma was giving him a sharp eye and was trying to sit him down. 🤣

Lou Meyers aka Mr. Gaines, his lines were not scripted but they kept it in because it added to the real emotion of the audience during that speech

Thank you🙏 Papa Jackson

Using his people to put himself in a better position of power and money, plenty of people like him

It's not my aptitude but my attitude that determines my altitude 🔥🔥

Back then sitcoms were known to tackle important issues.

Mr. Gaines cracked me up

Powerful. But the guy in the audience must have a mic too

This would never fly to day wonder if mr jackson would say that today

Rosa parks wasn't one person, she was the leader of a large group of activists who pre-planned the confrontation. None of his anecdotes are about one person.

who's idea was this? not for my generation but sitting here now. LOL! still not

No amount of votes would’ve made Mandela Free or stopped apartheid we did not have sovereignty over a different nation than our own!

What a charlatan!

I’m here because j Jackson looks almost dead standing in the George floyd line up.
