Famous Quotes & Sayings

Jesse Jackson

The tallest tree in the history of African American journalism has fallen, but has fallen gracefully. The tree that stood tall for over 60 years and a tree that planted a forest, a tree with widespread limbs and full of fruit. He connected to Africa and African Americans.

His impact had been felt through the whole world of journalism.
