The OP didn't want to link to the site since it's right-wing.
I don't care, though. Here's some quotes:
“Bernie was fighting back in Chicago not in the deep-south — in affordable housing struggles in Chicago. The movement was so broad based. There were civil rights leaders in Chicago,” Rev. Jackson said, confirming it might be too quick to dismiss Sanders’ activist background.
Jackson, along with Georgia Democrat Rep. John Lewis , both considered prominent figures in the 1960’s civil rights movement, told TheDC he has “enough room in [his] heart to respect John and Bernie,” despite Lewis’ accusation that he “never saw” Sanders at civil rights events at the time.

“My concern there is, they’re choosing based on relationships…my concern is what is the agenda? What does the agenda need? Who has the most immigrant and figures plan for affordable health care — accessible affordable education and job training and housing re-construction and urban development? That’s what we need. Something needs to be built around that,” Jackson said.
He added, “[Their endorsement] is based on their interests… My focus has been based on voter registration and issue development. That’s what I’m focused on.”
