In 1965 Jesse Jackson met Dr. Martin Luther King Jr at a place called Selma March. And he was made the leader of the Chicago branch of Operation Breadbasket which was made by Martin Luther King Jr. in 1962.

In 1984 Jesse Jackson ran for the Democratic Nomination. He didnt win but he did have 450 delgates. But he did run again in 1988 This time He targeted all minority groups such as blacks and Hispanics along with more white voters. This time he got 1200 delegates. But it wasn’t enough to win. Many people didnt think he could win. Even though he didnt win the race people thought Jackson ran just to prove to people that a black person could still do well in a Presidential election.

The other day we went to the Atlanta History Center and it was really fun because we got a sheet with a name of a person who actually fought in the Civil War. On our sheet We had a certain amout of money, Healt points, and moral points. We also had to make decisions that real soilders had to make to. Like if we didnt have any food should we steal some from the enemy farmer and once you chose you had to spin a spinner and it decided if you got shot or got away. But I ended up dead but atleast I was sane.
