'''Reverend Jesse Jackson''' is a Democratic [[African-American]] political activist, a prominent spokesman for decades in espousing [[liberal]] views. Jackson ran for the [[Democrats|Democratic]] nomination for president in 1984 and again, with stronger support, in 1988. At times it has been suggested that Jackson was once [[pro-life]] before he became a leading Democrat and endorsed [[pro-abortion]] views; in 2005 Jackson did publicly oppose the denial of food and water that caused the death of the disabled [[Terri Schiavo]].
