Summary

The collection documents Reverend Jesse Jackson's campaign for the Democratic nomination for president of the United States from his candidacy announcement in 1983 through the Democratic National Convention held in San Francisco in 1984. Jackson was the second African American to run for president and the first candidate to win several major party state primaries. TIME magazine sent photojournalist Bruce Talamon to photograph Jackson, a well-known American civil rights activist and Baptist minister, on the campaign trail. The collection provides an in-depth look at the activities and operations of the Jackson campaign as well as the working practices of a photojournalist. The photographs depict local and national political leaders; Jackson's community supporters, including his overnight stays with local families; visits to colleges; Jackson's participation at events about such issues as unemployment and civil rights; and interactions with his Secret Service detail. Accompanying the photographs are Talamon's notes and supplemental materials that can deepen understanding of the campaign.
