The Jesse Jackson Jr. Show

Dr. Johnny Mack, host of the weekly series “World House” discusses how Dr. King called for a re-structure of our economic system that rids of the opportunity for a top-structured leadership to upend the pursuit of justice. We must do the work - more than a march, more than the rejection of a king.

All right…so inflicting trauma must have a different response from what is the response from what is expected. Reflecting on Rev. Jesse Jackson’s 1984 and 88 speeches in his run for president, we find the addresses that moved America’s mind and heart. That is the need now…mind and heart movement. 

“Conversations with Atiba” focused on the people and what the people want and need to feel healthy, happy and secure. We’ve gotten away from what’s best for “we the people.” How do we get back to the focus of people first?

On the Grind” with Barbara Arnwine Esq. always keeps us sober about the issues that encroach on the civil rights of Americans and the justice for those who lack an equal measure. This week: Voting Rights before Supreme Court, October 15th. ICE. Elections and Redistricting issues, state by state…and what Dems must do. 

Business Tycoon, strategist, and new author, Dr. LaMelle McMorris offers a brand of an old and new testimony toward hanging in through tough times and situations in his new book, “The Power to Persist.”

Rev Teresa Hord Owens brings light to the Supreme Court’s legitimization of the authoritarianism that the framers of the Constitution fled. Without supporting Congress or upholding case law, the boundaries are blown out of the water, and the money chase is on, versus dropping terms that actually shed light for the people to practice love…one toward another. 

Our favorite millennial, Ernest Crim III, pulled no punches as he described the treatment of citizens by ICE in Chicago, the limited rights of amended-in people, and the Constitution stance on free speech and the right to bear arms. The lines are blurred with mixed messages…why?

Rev. Teresa Hord Owens, weekly guest host of “The Faith Not To Fall” on The Jesse Jackson Jr Show discusses what constitutes hypocrisy and how people fall into it - sometimes without knowing, but often, becoming hypocritical when they don’t really have the courage to say the truth.
