Hi Reader -

I didn’t realize something until I started writing this.

ometimes reflection shows you things you didn’t see in the moment.
​

Years ago, I was working for Fox News Corp in Chicago.

Chicago was home to legends.

Reverend Jesse Jackson.

And Michael Jackson.

At events, whenever Michael arrived, there was always an entourage surrounding him.

Security.

Advisors.

People creating space around a global icon.

And often, right there with him, was Reverend Jesse Jackson.

Not separate.

Not distant.

But present.

Looking back now, something strikes me.

They shared the same last name.

Jackson.

No family relationship.

Just two powerful men.

Both rooted in Chicago.

Both carrying influence in completely different arenas.

One through music that moved the world.

One through activism that moved a nation.

At the time, it was just another event.

Another assignment.

Another moment in a busy career.

But now, it feels bigger.

It feels like I witnessed history standing next to history.

Two men.

Same name.

Same city.

Different callings.

Both leaving undeniable impact.

As we reflect on the passing of Reverend Jesse Jackson, I can’t help but think about legacy.

About presence.

About who walks beside us in our most visible moments.

Take a moment today to think about the mark you’re leaving.

The rooms you walk into.

The people you stand beside.

Rest in peace, Reverend Jesse Jackson.

Rest in peace, Michael Jackson

Talk to ya tomorrow,

Scott
