Last week, Rev. Jesse Jackson, a national Civil Rights leader and former Presidential candidate, passed away at the age of 84. While Jackson was a national figure, he had a big impact on New York politics during his presidential runs in the 80s, leading some to believe he paved the way for New York to soon after elect its first Black mayor, David Dinkins. Arun Venugopal, senior reporter for the WNYC Race & Justice Unit, reflects on Jackson's impact on New York and discusses his recent Gothamist article, "From Dinkins to Zohran: Jesse Jackson's NYC political legacy."
