The American civil rights icon, Rev. Jesse Jackson, died today at the age of 84. His advisor James Zogby, pollster and co-founder of the Arab American Institute, traveled with Rev. Jackson throughout the Middle East. Zogby tells The World's Host Marco Werman that Jackson broke political taboos by mainstreaming dialogue with Palestinian leaders, and engaging with Arab Americans as a political constituency, rather than treating them as marginal or politically risky.
