I remember this. I wasn't born yet when it first aired, but I saw it in syndication.
I remember it felt so empowering as a little kid to hear those words. It made a real impression on me. It was one of my first experiences of hearing what strong autonomy sounded like, and that kids were just as valuable as anyone.

RIP, Rev. Jesse Jackson
