Remember Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition?
The Rainbow Coalition was an antiracist, anticlass multicultural movement founded April 4, 1969 in Chicago, Illinois by Fred Hampton of the Black Panther Party, along with William “Preacherman” Fesperman of the Young Patriots Organization and José Cha Cha Jiménez, founder of the Young Lords. It was the first of several 20th century black-led organizations to use the “rainbow coalition” concept.
Oh brother! Thanks for the memories, completely forgot the Rainbow Coalition. So the “Pride” community stole the rainbow from Jesse Jackson, who stole it from God? It’s like a cobbled together rag-tag group of misfits looking for their pot of gold.
