ICYMI: HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Our Fearless Leaders REV. DR. AL SHARPTON and REV. JESSE L. JACKSON

By Gloria DULAN-Wilson

Hello All:

In case you missed it, last Monday, October 3, 2022 was the 68th Birthday of the Rev. Dr.Al Sharpton.

He's a personal hero of mine, and I like to consider him a long term friend.  

He's walked through fire for Black people, though at times often unappreciated or underestimated.

I look in awe at all that he's done and continues to do. And am happy to see that there are many among us who celebrate the day he appeared on this plane of action.

 

To put it simply - HAPPY BIRTHDAY - BROTHER/FRIEND REV. DR. AL SHARPTON

Stay Blessed & 

ECLECTICALLY BLACK 

 

 With Rev. Al Sharpton at the 2016 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, PA

 

TODAY, OCTOBER 8,  IS THE BIRTHDAY OF REV. JESSE L. JACKSON, WHO CELEBRATES HIS 81st Year Turn Around the Sun!

 

As with Rev. Al Sharpton, Rev. Jackson has been a lifelong hero of mine - from the first time I met him in 1969, when he was Keynote Speaker at Lincoln University's (PA) Commencement, and throughout his lifetime as a major champion for Black people. 

Even during this time of his health challenges, Rev. Jesse Jackson has never backed down from taking a principled and physical stand for Black people. As Rev. Al Sharpton has said on countless occasions, Rev. Jackson has done more in his 81 years to help Black people, than all the pop artists, sports figures, elected figures combined.

It is important to make sure our children, grandchildren and peers know and share their knowledge of all that he has done and accomplished - and that we begin to teach his place in our history and our lives.  

When my children were quite young, during the time that we lived in California, whenever Rev. Jackson would come to LA, I would pull my children out of school so they could meet him in person and hear, first hand, what he had to say.  This was in the mid-70s, prior to his running for the Presidency in 1984.  My children have grown up on Rev. Jackson, as have their children.  it's imperative that we honor and respect and stand for those who stand for us.

So a very happy 81st Birthday to the Reverend Jesse Louis Jackson - 

Thanks so much for your leadership, love, and all that you've done for us.

Stay Blessed & 

ECLECTICALLY BLACK 

These two FINE BLACK MEN men - both born under the sign of Libra - Justice, Balance, Elegance, Eloquence - have made a critical difference in our lives and the future of our people

NOW THAT YOU KNOW

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY REV. AL SHARPTON October 3, 2019

By Gloria Dulan-Wilson

Hello All:

October is full of heroes - I guess that's the nature of Libra - they believe in justice - they can't help themselves - they not only have the ability to see both sides of a situation, equitably, but they are heaven bent on making sure others are treated fairly.

Such is the nature of brother/friend Rev. Al Sharpton - who celebrated his birthday on October 3rd.  We're celebrating his milestone 65th Birthday Anniversary. 
I consider him one of the busiest brothers on the planet.  He keeps a non-stop schedule in our behalves, leading the most dynamic national activist organization on the planet - appropriately named the National Action Network. 

Happy Birthday, Reverend Al Sharpton

Today marks the 65^th birthday of our Founder/President Reverend Al Sharpton.  We thank Reverend Sharpton for his sacrifice and commitment to social justice and his vision in 1991 to create National Action Network, which has become one of the nation’s most visible civil rights organization. 

For almost 30 years, NAN has been at the vanguard in the fight for social justice. As President Barack Obama noted, Reverend Sharpton has been the “voice for the voiceless.” Throughout this month, there will be many opportunities to reflect on Reverend Sharpton’s life and legacy as we continue forward in the fight for equality. 


Happy birthday, Rev!

Rev. Sharpton has poured his life's work into building up NAN to last into posterity. Please donate today to ensure that NAN continues fighting for justice. Help us uphold the dream, legacy and spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King.

Instead of giving The Rev a gift, donate $1 - $1000 to help National Action Network continue to fight for justice and equality with criminal justice, police misconduct, voting rights, and so much more...

Rev. Al is part of a pantheon of Librans whom I admire, including the late Johnnie Cochran, who would have been 82 on October 2; my sister/friend Dorothy Pittman-Hughes, also October 2; Amiri Baraka, whose birthdate is October 7, Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, born October 8 - each of whom has devoted their lives to justice, and a better quality of life for Black people.
