Tomorrow on Keepin’ It Real, we will pause to remember my mentor and friend, Rev. Jesse Louis Jackson, Sr., on his first heavenly birthday.

Rev. Jackson spent his life fighting for justice, dignity, opportunity, and a seat at the table for people too often left out. His voice, his courage, and his work helped shape generations, including my own.

I’ll be joined by Jesse Jackson Jr., Michael Eric Dyson, and others as we reflect on Rev. Jackson’s life, legacy, and the movement he helped build.

📻 Tune in from 1–4 PM ET on your local stations and SiriusXM 126

💻 Watch the livestream on NAN’s YouTube and Facebook

📞 Call in and join the conversation at 877-532-5797

We remember Rev. Jackson by continuing the work. by @michaelericdyson

It was an honor to deliver the keynote message at the CBCF 55th Annual Legislative Conference Day of Healing Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C.

Thank you to CBCF President Nicole Austin-Hillery, CBC Chairwoman Yvette D. Clarke, and honorary chairs Congresswoman Alma Adams and Congressman Glenn Ivey for the opportunity to share in this important gathering.

And to my Metropolitan Baptist Church family, members, and friends thank you for your prayers, encouragement, and continued support.
It is a privilege to represent Metropolitan wherever God opens the door.

God doesn’t consult other people’s opinion when He chooses to pour out His Spirit on you. 🙌🏾 You don’t have to apologize for where God has elevated you, and you definitely don’t need to cower in the face of anyone else’s insecurity. Stand on your gift, keep moving forward, and let God handle the rest! 💯Rev. Dr. @MichaelEricDyson
