Martin Luther King Jr. and led key organizations in the push for civil rights, including the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, also mounted two ultimately unsuccessful presidential bids, in 1984 and 1988. Through those runs, Jackson helped reshape American political power by building a diverse coalition centered on those long excluded from national leadership \u2014 including Black voters, women, young people, and the working class. It was a coalition that would become the foundation of modern Democratic Party politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Jackson\u2019s civil rights work evolved from the movement to political power, his campaigns registered millions of new voters \u2014 what became known as the Rainbow Coalition \u2014 and diverse voter participation would become part of his lifelong work. His campaigns helped to normalize Black women\u2019s leadership beyond the ballot box as organizers, decision-makers and strategists. In the years since his presidential campaigns, Black women have shaped party leadership and helped define the direction of American politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe used to say, \u2018Our patch ain\u2019t big enough,\u2019\u201d Daughtry said of Jackson. \u201cAny one community, there aren\u2019t enough of us to make electoral change. We have to build a quilt that has bigger patches, and all of us together means we can get the change we all need. We are much stronger when we are together, and there are more of us \u2014&nbsp;even if they may not come where you come from, or look like what you look like. There is common ground, if you look for it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Women were key to the Rainbow Coalition, said Melanie Campbell, who was a student at Clark College (now Clark-Atlanta University) when she volunteered on Jackson\u2019s campaign, registering voters in Georgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe had women around him politically. \u2026 He let us understand that we had the power of the vote,\u201d said Campbell, now president of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation. \u201cI didn\u2019t know I was going to end up working in civil rights. Being able to be around him and other civil rights leaders, men and women \u2026 it molded me to be what I am today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><blockquote><p>Practically every skill I learned, I learned standing on his shoulders.&#8221;<\/p><cite>Donna Brazile<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Donna Brazile was also among the young Black women who got her start in politics working with Jackson. In 1984, at the age of 23, she left a job with Coretta Scott King to work for Jackson, who tapped her Louisiana roots to focus on Southern voters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She remembered him as someone who saw people as individuals, who never made her feel reduced or like she had to fight to get into rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe always included us,\u201d said Brazile, who would become the first Black woman to manage a major party presidential campaign in 2000. \u201cHe gave me my wings. He understood I could organize and he gave me every opportunity. He rooted me in politics. He let me know that I could manage campaigns. \u2026 Practically every skill I learned, I learned standing on his shoulders.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chicago native Minyon Moore was a college student working at Encyclopedia Britannica when she was hired to work at Operation PUSH, the civil rights organization Jackson co-founded in her hometown. In 1988, Moore was tapped to be deputy field director for Jackson\u2019s presidential campaign.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShirley Chisholm said, \u2018If you don\u2019t have a seat at the table, bring a folding chair.\u2019 Reverend Jackson said, \u2018You have a seat at the table \u2014&nbsp;and it\u2019s a hard chair,\u2019\u201d \u2014&nbsp;a permanent spot, Moore said. He emphasized the importance of preparation and the value of serving other people and taking on any task, no matter how big or small, she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moore\u2019s career in politics includes becoming the first Black woman director of White House political affairs, under President Bill Clinton, and, later, leading the Democratic National Committee and the party\u2019s convention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Black women elected officials are also part of Jackson\u2019s legacy. Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters co-chaired Jackson\u2019s 1984 and 1988 campaigns. She was elected to Congress in 1990 and is serving her 18th term in California\u2019s 43rd District.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a tribute to Jackson, former Vice President Kamala Harris wrote: \u201cHe let us know our voices mattered. He instilled in us that we were somebody. And he widened the path for generations to follow in his footsteps and lead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1984, Jackson was only the second Black American to run for president as a major political party candidate, following Shirley Chisholm\u2019s trailblazing run in 1972. While neither of them was elected, voters won important gains in political representation through Jackson\u2019s candidacy. He pushed the Democratic Party to change its rules around rewarding delegates to end winner-take-all primaries, creating fairer, proportional representation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2024 at the Democratic National Convention, where Harris accepted the party\u2019s nomination for the presidency, Jackson appeared on the opening night to thunderous applause from the arena, a testament to his contribution to American politics. It was a full-circle moment for Moore, who said Jackson never stopped mentoring her over the decades.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><blockquote><p>He trusted us to go out and work on behalf of the people.&#8221;<\/p><cite>Minyon Moore<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe trusted us to go out and work on behalf of the people,\u201d Moore said. \u201cHe always wanted me to know exactly what our White counterparts knew. He felt like the only way to do that was to give us the experience to do it. There was never a place where we weren\u2019t welcome.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By inviting Black women into national politics, Jackson helped ensure they would help shape its future. His approach holds lessons for the Black women organizers and political strategists who carry his work forward, said Glynda Carr, president of Higher Heights for America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHis two campaigns were built on this notion of coalition, to elevate the voices of the working poor, the working class, the middle class, and insisting that Black voters and our communities were centered in a national conversation,\u201d said Carr, whose political action committee mobilizes Black women voters to elect Black women to office. \u201cIf we\u2019re actually going to rebuild America, what does true coalition-building look like?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"block_61605b4ea1eba1102728e981e2211342\" class=\"wp-block related-post alignwide\">\n      <div class=\"wrap\">\n    <div
