Cultural heroes
The builders
Jesse Jackson Jr.
Congressman
Jackson Jr. has been a member of the U.S. House of Representatives since 1995, but the past year has launched him into an even larger national role as cochair of Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. But naming his cultural hero brings him back to his younger days, citing famed South Side DJ Hi-Fi White, who lured acts like the Temptations to the long-gone High Chaparral. “He was a very entertaining and very engaging guy, and he helped reduce homophobia in the black community, because he was out there.”—Jonathan Messinger
Jackson Jr. is up for reelection in November against Republican Anthony Williams.
