The Rev. Jesse Jackson is backing Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) for the Democratic presidential nomination, as Sanders is looking to make a comeback when voters in six more states go to the polls on March 10.
“With the exception of Native Americans, African Americans are the people who are most behind, socially and economically, in the United States, and our needs are not moderate. A people far behind cannot catch up choosing the most moderate path,” Jackson said on March 8 in a statement to news outlets.
