Rev. Jesse Jackson Calls for Shirley Sherrod to be Reinstated
"I appeal to the Department of Agriculture to reconsider its position and fully reinstate Ms. Shirley Sherrod to her position as Georgia's director of rural development," said Rev. Jesse L. Jackson Sr., founder and president of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition.
Ms. Sherrod's comments about her support for white farmers, made in a speech at an NAACP conference in March of this year and posted on YouTube, were widely misinterpreted, misrepresented, and taken out of context. Her professionalism and integrity were validated by the white farmers -- the Spooners -- who she referenced in her speech. The Spooners have stepped forward to express their explicit support for Ms. Sherrod and credited her for working with them to save their farm 24 years ago. Eloise Spooner, 82, said "She gave enough that it helped us save our farm. She helped us and we're going to help her."
It is unfortunate that such a hasty judgment was made to pressure Ms. Sherrod to resign. I hope that all parties can come together, consider the facts and Ms. Sherrod's performance, and bring her back to work."
