Mea Culpa

Connection Through Redemption + A Conversation With Jesse Jackson Jr.


Listen Later

On this episode of Mea Culpa, I’m joined by Jesse Jackson Jr., former Congressman, son of civil rights leader Reverend Jesse Jackson, and author of “A More Perfect Union: Advancing New American Rights” and “The Finger of God.” In 2013, Jesse was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison for violating campaign finance laws, and like me, he hoped for a pardon from President Biden. Jesse reflects on his father’s legacy and his own efforts to uphold those values in Congress. We discuss the challenges of public life as the child of a prominent figure, the need for ethical leadership in today’s polarized climate, and the urgency of systemic reform to create fairness and opportunity for all. Jesse also shares his views on mass pardons, criminal justice reform, and the impact of socioeconomic inequality.
