A few days ago DeSean Jackson shared an anti-Semitic message on his social networks and received a wave of criticism, for which he apologized and was also punished by the Eagles. Now, the receiver wants to do everything possible to correct his mistake.
This Monday, the member from Philadelphia assured that he will attend the Holocaust Museum in Auschwitz, Poland, to learn from the Jewish community, a group he said he did not know.
“I grew up in Los Angeles and didn’t spend much time with someone from the Jewish community and didn’t know much about their history. This has been a powerful experience to learn and educate myself. I want to take the appropriate steps so that people understand that I have never intentionally hated someone, I never wanted to disappoint the Jewish community, I want to learn more and help build bridges between all the different cultures, “said the Eagles wide receiver.
This decision by Jackson is a consequence of the fact that Edward Mosberg, Honorary President of the organization From the Depths ─in charge of preserving the memory of the Holocaust─, He invited the player to the concentration camp facilities.
“We are working with DeSean and his team to set the travel dates and we are happy that DeSean has accepted”Jonny Daniels, founder of From the Depths, said after Jackson’s response was released.
