4 Extra Debut. African-American political leader, Reverend Jesse Jackson reflects on his life through the 成人快手 Archives. From 2009.

Witness to the murder of Martin Luther King; the first African-American to make a significant bid for the US Presidency.

The Reverend Jesse Jackson joins presenter John Wilson to reflect on the soundtrack to his life, drawn from a half century of 成人快手 archive.

Being close to Dr King during the troubled years of the 1960s Civil Rights Movement was just one of the formative experiences for the Reverend Jesse Jackson.

Here he gets the chance to listen back to his younger self, recall his thoughts at the time, and apply the self-knowledge that comes from distance.

Other episodes in his life include:

* Addressing the first black political rally
* Negotiating with President Saddam Hussein of Iraq over hostages
* Running twice for President of the USA
* Witnessing the swearing in of the first black President;
* Defending one of America's most controversial black icons, Michael Jackson

Producers: Emma Kingsley and Sara Jane Hall

First broadcast on 成人快手 Radio 4 in August 2009.
