Jackson and Powell top list of most important Black leaders.
Frank Newport of the Gallup News Service says a Gallup Poll last month asked Americans to name "the most important national leader in the black community today." Of a 241-black sample, 18% named Colin Powell and 17% named Jesse Jackson. Other names mentioned, by far fewer black respondents: "5% named NAACP President and CEO Kweisi Mfume, 4% named presidential candidate the Rev. Al Sharpton, 2% named National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, and 1% named California Congresswoman Maxine Waters."
