Reprint. Originally published: Chicago : Nelson-Hall, 1975. With a new introd. and a postcript.
This is the first unauthorized biography of the Rev. Jesse Jackson. It was first published in 1975 as Jesse Jackson, the man, the myth and the movement. it was updated after jackson's 1984 presidential race. at its inception the book was viewed as a betrayal as breaking the black codes which usually call for black authors to protect rather than to expose the flaws of black leaders. this book was the first to expose as myths or lies that jackson was on the balcony of the Memphis lorraine hotel when Dr. King was assassinated as was claimed and that Jackson's programs helped the poor. the book also dealt with his private life,mwhich at the time was ground journalists did not plow. the book, however,rightly predicted that he would rise to unprecendented fame and power.
