Abby Phillip on Jesse Jackson, Black Power, and Wild Debate TV | The Joy Reid Show Bonus Episode
In this profound and revealing special episode, Joy Reid sits down with CNN anchor Abby Phillip to discuss her new book, "A Dream Deferred: Jesse Jackson and the Fight for Black Political Power." They dive deep into the untold story of Reverend Jackson's groundbreaking 1984 and 1988 presidential campaigns, exploring how his unapologetically progressive platform—championing Palestinian statehood, reparations, and economic justice—radically reshaped the Democratic Party. Phillip reveals how Jackson's strategic genius, from leveraging black voter blocs to changing delegate rules, directly made Barack Obama's presidency possible a generation later. The conversation also tackles Jackson's complex relationship with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the media, and his role as a coalition builder. And the two discuss Abby's CNN show and the sometimes wild, sometimes performative, and always provocative conversations she oversees as the host and moderator. This is an essential history lesson on the man who taught Democrats how to fight and the enduring fight for Black political power.
