Civil rights leader and two-time Democratic presidential candidate Jesse Jackson (1941-) became one of the most influential African-Americans of the late 20th century. He rose to prominence working within Martin Luther King Jr.'s Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and was at the Memphis hotel with King when he was assassinated. Through PUSH, the organization he founded in 1971, Jackson pressed for broader employment opportunities for African-Americans. During the 1980s and 1990s he negotiated the release of dozens of international hostages and prisoners. In his 1984 and 1988 presidential campaigns, Jackson won 16 state contests and millions of votes, making him the first viable African-American candidate for president.

How many votes did Jesse Jackson get when he ran for president?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Jackson was a serious candidate three times-- in 1824 when he lost to John Quincy Adams , in 1828 when he won and in 1832 when he was re-elected to a second term. He looked like a candidate in 1816 after he became a national hero for winning the Battle of New Orleans and made a triumphal visit to Washington.
Thomas Jefferson in particular, met with him and urged him to hold off until Monroe two terms as President./
