Local tributes to US civil rights leader Jesse Jackson

North West Today

Available for 29 days

Tributes are paid to US civil rights leader Jesse Jackson, who has died aged 84. We reflect on his visits to Derry with the city's first black mayor, Liliian Seenoi-Barr and the former chair of the Bloody Sunday Trust, Robin Percival. Derry City FC and Crusaders FC have been given a date in their joint legal action challenging a decision by the Department of Communities over the Northern Ireland Football Fund. Peter Cunnah, front man of 90's band D:Ream, tells us about tracking down his birth father. And our Voices of Northlands series, marking the 50th anniversary of the addiction treatment centre, continues.
