Jesse Jackson to visit Capital City today

MONTGOMERY -- The Rev. Jesse Jackson, who has criticized the University of Alabama for not hiring a black football coach, will visit the Capital City today.

Jackson is expected to talk about the decision to hire former UA quarterback Mike Shula, as well as several other subjects, including prison reform and racial discrimination in banking and lending.

Jackson will speak at 6 p.m. today at New Life Baptist Church, 1943 Rosa Parks Ave.

Supporters said Jackson is scheduled to speak at 9 a.m. Wednesday during a rally planned at the state Capitol to protest the UA coaching decision.

Many believe that it was Jesse Jackson's opinions that caused the lone African American candidate, Sylvester Croom, to be eliminated from the coaching search.

Any thoughts? Is Jesse still doing any good out there, or has he de-evolved into an extortion-fueled parody?
