“The Problem Is Not Trump. The Problem Is Us.” Rev. Sharpton's Blunt Warning At Jackson Tribute

Rev. Al Sharpton delivers a fiery tribute to Rev. Jesse Jackson — warning that the greatest threat to progress isn’t just political opposition, but forgetting the movements and sacrifices that made Black political power possible.

Rev. Al Sharpton honors the life and legacy of Rev. Jesse Jackson while delivering a blunt warning about the present moment. Speaking about Jackson’s lifelong fight for civil rights, economic justice, and political empowerment, Sharpton challenges the audience not to leave the memorial inspired but inactive. He argues that the real danger facing Black America is “Negro Amnesia” — forgetting the struggles, movements, and organizing that created today’s opportunities. Drawing on Jackson’s legacy, Sharpton calls for renewed political engagement, reminding the audience that the victories of the civil rights era were never guaranteed and can be rolled back if communities fail to organize and vote.
