Rev. Frederick Douglass Haynes III, of Friendship-West Baptist Church in Dallas, was sworn in as CEO of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition Feb. 1., the civil rights group founded by the Rev. Jesse Jackson in the 1970s, just a bit over two months after taking the role.
Haynes replaced civil rights leader Jackson, 82, who announced last July that he was stepping down amid health issues in recent years. Haynes’ swearing in marked the first time the Rainbow PUSH Coalition had a new leader since its inception in 1971.in early February about taking over as CEO of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition. He said at the time that he knew from an early age that his destiny would be tied to activism.
His activism eventually caught the attention of Jackson, a protege of The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., who broke with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1971 to form Operation PUSH, which initially stood for People United to Save Humanity. The organization was later renamed the Rainbow PUSH Coalition.
