Reverend Jesse Jackson On How To Expand Opportunities For The African-American Community

African Americans have deep roots in Wall Street ー which is precisely why civil rights activist Rev. Jesse Jackson wants to close the race gap in finance. "Four-hundred years ago African-Americans actually built the walls on Wall Street, that's why it's called Wall Street," Jackson told Cheddar Wednesday.

A Los Angeles social equity program set out to help minorities adversely affected by cannabis criminalization. Activist and program applicant Kika Keith joins Cheddar to share first-hand what went wrong in the system.

Walla Elsheikh, CEO of Birthright AFRICA, spoke to Cheddar about the program gives young African-American adults a chance to get understand their culture and legacy while closing the diversity gap.
