Rev. Jackson to help evacuate New Orleans

BATON ROUGE, La. -- The Rev. Jesse Jackson arrived in Louisiana Thursday to help people evacuate the storm-ravaged New Orleans and to see the devastation Hurricane Katrina wrought on the city.
Jackson headed into New Orleans with state Sen. Cleo Fields and three buses to move 450 students from Xavier University to safer locations outside the city and then make repeated roundtrips to help others escape.

Previously on the 'net, I've written that Jesse Jackson let Clinton punk him. I've also written that Jesse Jackson uses Black support of Democrats more for his benefit than anyone else's benefit.
But right is right. I've heard from someone who lived in NOLA that Jackson followed through on this. OK, since this is the case, I have to say good job.
