En mis \u00faltimos a\u00f1os, me encontr\u00e9 alej\u00e1ndome de las trayectorias espec\u00edficas de la Coalici\u00f3n Rainbow Push. Pensaba que no estaban expandiendo lo suficiente los l\u00edmites ni desafiando a los poderes establecidos. Sin embargo, la evoluci\u00f3n ideol\u00f3gica no borra, ni deber\u00eda, el peso del impacto hist\u00f3rico. Comprender la importancia de Jackson es comprender el clima de 1988.<\/span>\r\n<h4><b>Lecciones electorales aprendidas: los negros tambi\u00e9n votan<\/b><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ten\u00eda siete a\u00f1os cuando el reverendo Jackson se present\u00f3 a las primarias dem\u00f3cratas. Para muchos, era una campa\u00f1a arriesgada; para un ni\u00f1o del sur, significaba que todo era posible. Recuerdo el d\u00eda que mi madre me llev\u00f3 a las urnas. No era solo una misi\u00f3n c\u00edvica; sent\u00eda que estaba realmente feliz de votar por alguien en quien cre\u00eda. Esta fe y esperanza en que un l\u00edder abordar\u00e1 mis principales preocupaciones como votante es algo que falta en nuestro liderazgo pol\u00edtico actual.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cuando le hice la inevitable pregunta de la infancia: &quot;\u00bfPor qui\u00e9n votaste?&quot;, no dud\u00f3. Habl\u00f3 con una claridad que me qued\u00f3 grabada: &quot;Bueno, al reverendo Jesse Jackson. Podr\u00eda ser el primer presidente negro del pa\u00eds&quot;.\u201c<\/span>\r\n<h4><b>El peso de ser \"el otro\"\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">En el Sur, aprendes desde peque\u00f1o que la ciudadan\u00eda suele considerarse un contrato de arrendamiento condicional, no un derecho de nacimiento. Ser negro en Estados Unidos es navegar la paradoja de ser &quot;el otro&quot; en el \u00fanico hogar que has conocido. En 1988, Jackson no solo se postul\u00f3 para un cargo; desafi\u00f3 las limitaciones de la imaginaci\u00f3n estadounidense.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Obtuvo casi 7 millones de votos y gan\u00f3 13 primarias y asambleas partidarias, incluyendo una victoria contundente en Michigan. Durante esos pocos meses, la &quot;Coalici\u00f3n Arco\u00edris&quot; no fue solo un eslogan: fue la prueba estad\u00edstica de que una alianza multirracial de la clase trabajadora era una posibilidad matem\u00e1tica.<\/span>\r\n<h4><b>El legado de un pionero de la justicia social<\/b><\/h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Como un tit\u00e1n del movimiento por los derechos civiles y protegido del Dr. King, Jackson sirvi\u00f3 como un recordatorio constante de lo que este pa\u00eds podr\u00eda ser. A trav\u00e9s de la Operaci\u00f3n EMPUJAR y su incansable defensa, afirm\u00f3 una verdad fundamental: las personas negras no somos simplemente participantes del experimento estadounidense; somos los arquitectos de su crecimiento y la conciencia de su desarrollo.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aunque mi norte ideol\u00f3gico haya cambiado con el paso de las d\u00e9cadas, los cimientos que Jackson sent\u00f3 siguen siendo inamovibles. Allan\u00f3 el camino que otros eventualmente conducir\u00edan hacia la Casa Blanca. Por esa visi\u00f3n, y por aquella tarde en las urnas con mi madre, siempre estar\u00e9 agradecido.<\/span>\r\n\r\nDescansa en el poder,\r\n<strong>Darius Kemp, Director Ejecutivo<\/strong>"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_add_component","_acfe_flexible_toggle":null,"component_add_component":null},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_work","_acfe_flexible_toggle":null,"component_work":{"heading":"Work","manually_curate":false,"work":null}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_related_articles","_acfe_flexible_toggle":null,"component_related_articles":{"heading":"Updates","button_text":"See all Related Articles","manually_curate":false,"articles":null}}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.6 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Somwewhere Over The Rainbow: Remembering Rev.
