in 1992 when he essentially rebuked jesse jackson and was also the same time rebuking mario cuomo and he did so in very stark terms as a way of signaling to really whiteking-class voters that this is the party that is not beholden to the jackson wing, a candidacy not beholden to jackson himself. and that rejection of jackson in 1992 really reset the party with white working-class voters, helped bill clinton to when the white house, but set a tone for the party that was very center-right and had liberals within the party really left yearning for a movement of their own. it took what a long time for the liberal wing to come back in the african-american part of that movement to find its own voice, but they definitely did in 2008. juan: yet you say jackson and clinton did develop a personal relationship of some sort. >> one of bill clinton's talents, he's a very deft politician in southern politician, so politicians in the south including jimmy carter had long had this dichotomy of holding the african-american vote with one hand and the white rural with the other and being able to do both. because bill clinton is so commercially -- easy and natural relati

jesse mosley owned a shoe store. they were middle class women, these primary organizers, and they didn't have to worry about the same level of economic retaliation from whites that many other blacks had to worry about if they engaged in civil rights activism. they were well-respected members of their community, they were known in their churches, they had years of organizing experience prior the freedom riders' arrival in jab -- jackson. so they were the perfect women to actually nurture these young activists to be involved and to mobilize activism around the the city and as well as around the state. ultimately, woman power unlimited was a group of black women who had a very unique and progressive definition of what social activism meant and what social justice meant. so they were unique in the context of the civil rights movement, but they were not really unique in the context of this legacy of black women's activism. ultimately, they were doing what black women had done for generations, taking care of their families and communities and insuring that the black community could survive to see another day. so one of the things i attempt to do in the week is to
