このコンテンツについて
From CNN’s Abby Phillip, a triumphant new look at Jesse Jackson’s presidential campaigns of the 1980s and how they changed Black political power
“A joyful, rich, must-read biography of a politician whose flaws and gifts were in constant, intense competition.”—Jake Tapper
Jesse Jackson, the civil rights leader, activist, raconteur, and political candidate, finally gets a book worthy of his stature courtesy of CNN anchor Abby Phillip.
Focusing on his presidential runs in 1984 and, especially, 1988, Phillip highlights how Jackson built an unlikely coalition that showed how Black political power could be consolidated. His experience working under Martin Luther King; his organizing the SLCC’s Operation Breadbasket in Chicago and beyond; and his roots in the deep South combined into two astonishingly impactful presidential campaigns. Appealing to the working people of urban enclaves like that of Chicago, young people on college campuses, and Black people across the South, he created the modern Democratic coalition—one that has been used by all major Democrats seeking national success from Obama to Biden to Harris.
With her expert reporting, natural storytelling skills, and a story so full of humanity, politics, and hope, Abby Phillip has written a rousing popular history that sheds new light on an American icon.

“A Dream Deferred by Abby Phillip is a must read. As a student and mentee of Rev. Jesse Jackson since I was 12 years old, I can say this book explores his historic leadership that helped reshape American politics and the post-Dr. King civil rights movement in the late 20th century. Abby does it honestly exploring Rev. Jackson’s strengths and weaknesses, clearly saying why he is a historic leader that must be studied.”—Rev. Al Sharpton, American civil rights activist, and founder of the National Action Network.
“One of the most compelling and brilliant journalists of her generation, Abby Phillip has written a rich, complex, page-turning portrait of a man who was more influential in American politics than he's often given credit for. A Dream Deferred is a joyful, rich, must-read biography of a politician whose flaws and gifts were in constant, intense competition.”—Jake Tapper, bestselling author and CNN host
