"JESSE JACKSON: AMERICA’S DAVID”

Dr. Reynolds's first book, Jesse Jackson: The Man, the Movement and the Myth (renamed Jesse Jackson: America's David) became such a best-selling classic, it was stolen out of most of the American libraries and banned from being sold in many of the larger book chains. Dr. Reynolds was confronted with the hard-core realities of truth telling after her life was threatened and was assigned police bodyguards after she refused to leave town because of the overheated climate the book produced. Yet, in true prophetic fashion, this book traced the early career of Jackson.  It told of his genius as a leader but also boldly pointed out his womanizing, his patronage machine, his King making, all of which came back to haunt him in the 21st century.
