A weekly publication for the BGSU community

Rev. Jesse Jackson

The Rev. Jesse Jackson, famed civil rights activist and two-time presidential candidate, will visit BGSU Jan. 25 as part of the University’s “Celebrating Our Heritage” commemoration of Black History Month.

In an address titled “Honoring His Dream . . . Making It Our Reality,” Jackson, who began his leadership in the civil rights movement as an assistant to Dr. Martin Luther King in the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, will discuss the late civil rights leader at 7 p.m. that evening in the Lenhart Grand Ballroom of the Bowen-Thompson Student Union.

Admission to Jackson’s talk is free, but tickets are required and will be available beginning Jan. 16 at the Information Center in the union.
