Mannie Jackson

Good to be with you.

You know, there's a guy named Manny Jackson.

I talk about him a lot on the show because I am a Harlem Globetrotters fanatic.

But he grew up in the ghetto of South Central L.A.

But let's get back to Texas for a second, because capitalism is one of the things that makes this country so great, right? You got people who, I always bring them up.

Manny, what's his name? Damn it.

Manny Jackson, born in the ghetto in Los Angeles, in South Central, avoided all the violence, avoided all the drugs, went to school, got his degree, and then he became the first black CEO of a major company.

business corporation that corporation was the harlem globetrotters so anybody can do it because of capitalism but james talarico says no no

the second question communities of color receive the most harm from the impacts of climate change and yet receive the least government support to deal with it Tell us about one of the committees you are on or hope to be on and the most important actions that committee could take to fight for climate justice and mitigate the impacts of climate change for all Texans.
