"The world is far better for his presence, our lives greatly enriched through his friendship, he is deeply embedded in our hearts and indelibly etched in our minds. He mixed the bitter with the sweet. Death and life." Rev. Jesse Jackson eulogy for Jackie Robinson. "Because he came this way, baseball is better. America is better and generations unborn are better. Rev. Jesse Jackson eulogy for Curt Flood. "Marvin Gaye is as much a Minister as any man in the pulpit. His overall style is so lush and becalming that the words, which in themselves are often merely simplistic, come to the listener like dots from a Seurat landscape" Rev. Jesse Jackson. "Both tears and sweat are salty, but they render a different result. Tears will get you sympathy; sweat will get you change." Go easy. The Rev. Jesse Jackson and Marvin Gaye.
