Not DeSean Jackson. After posting anti-Semitic accusations
on Instagram last week, Jackson received
a great deal of criticism. In a subsequent attempt to better understand Jewish
perspectives, Jackson spoke
with a Holocaust survivor, 94-year-old
Edward Mosberg.
This conversation so moved
Jackson that he pledged
to visit Auschwitz. Jackson admitted
to never having “really spent
time with anyone from the Jewish
community,” then added that this newfound connection
has been “such a powerful” learning
experience.
