You've got to have a line, and you have to know where that line is. If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.

Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has passed away at the age of 84. My thoughts are with his family. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.
