A lecture with Q&A's afterwards

The Civil Rights Campaigner and politician, Rev Jesse Jackson from the US will be visiting Trinity College on Wednesday the 10th November.

He will be giving a lecture to the members of the College Historical Society (The Hist) in the Graduates Memorial Building in Front Square.

Jackson inherited the campaign of Martin Luther King on his assasination despite rancour between the two men but has been a fixture of American politics since.

The first black person to make a serious attempt for the presidency in 1984 he has worked through his organisation the Rainbow/PUSH coalition to advance the rights of minorites.

Fresh from getting out the vote with the Kerry campaign he will be speaking on these issues on Wednesday at 7pm.

Jessie was in UCD last night. That might explain the confusion.
