More accurately King DID predict the presidential run of Jessie Jackson in 1988, despite the record of King's bad relationship with Jackson. Still, the values that Jackson presented as a justice and human rights platform during his campaign, especially as they relate to the self interest of Blacks, stand out compared to Obama's lack of commitment.
