Joe Knapp Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Quote Long known for his activism and political influence, Jackson spent his life dedicated to pursuing civil rights for disenfranchised groups both in the United States and abroad. He was popular with the media, but he was a shadow of Martin Luther King. MLK was a giant. Quote

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS: During the funeral for civil rights leader Jesse Jackson, Isiah Thomas caused a stir when he called both Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton ‘presidents.’ Thomas, a former star for the Detroit Pistons, spoke at a public service in Chicago on Friday to honor Jackson's life and legacy. He talked about important leaders who were there during the speech and called Harris and Clinton presidents, which got a lot of attention from people who watched and talked about the event.

It wasn't a slip of Thomas' tongue. Thomas went on to call them "President Harris" and President Clinton," drawing a standing ovation from the crowd, as well as smiles and laughter from former vice president Kamala Harris and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, seated next to one other in the front pew.
