Who Can Afford to Not Forgive  
Podcast: The Jesse Jackson Jr. Show
Published On: Wed Jun 04 2025
Description: Dr. Wilmer Leon joins Jesse Jr. as circulation of the OpEd shows up in various outlets and the Trump Administration responds with a call for investigation into the pardon process in the waning days of the Biden Presidency. The Conclusion: The interest of “the people” is not well-served in the “forgiveness” process as originally intended, especially the interest of Black people who have supported Democratic Presidents, who could have pardoned thousands of citizens who need full restoration. Over 70 million debt-paid people remain in punishment and judgement.
