Letter: Jackson worthy of hero status
Monday, Jan. 22, 2001 | 10:22 a.m.
One of the truly great heroes of our time, in my opinion, is the Rev. Jesse Jackson. He has been an international diplomat in overseas situations. He is responsible for saving the lives and releasing 48 Cuban and Cuban-American prisoners of war in 1987. He was highly beneficial in the release of Robert Goodman from Syria.
Jackson has aided the rescue of hostages and given them their freedom out of Kuwait and Iraq a decade ago. He believes in equality of all races. He helps out the youth of our nation. He has won honors and medals, and written books. He has achieved great strides in his pursuit of freedom and dignity for all races. He has made the world a better place.
