“I Am Somebody (Rev.Jesse Jackson) sets the intention for this small volume of declarations that demand activism. The words found within require deep reflection to resist, to make change, to rise up. The somber outer cover belies the inner energy, colors, and power of protest, that calls us each to action.”
