Actually, Jesse Jr got a Budweiser franchise because of his father's extortion racket. The Coca Cola franchise was for Noah Robinson, Jr, Jesse Jackson, Sr's half brother. Jesse Jackson, Sr is the illegitimate son of Noah Robinson, Sr. Robinson was next door neighbors with Jesses's teenage mother. Noah Robinson, Sr was married when he impregnated Jesse's mother. Jesse, later continued the family tradition, of fathering illegitmate children.
If you're interested in reading a good book that chronicles Jesse Jackson Sr's life of crime, I recommend "Shakedown" by Ken Timmerman. Jackson has been a race hustler from the beginning, when he worked with MLK. Jackson's national exposure began with the death of MLK, when he told the media that King died in his arms. In fact, Jackson was on the other side of town when King was killed.
Jesse Jackson Sr has become a multi-millionaire because of the extortion racket he's been running for decades. He threatens big coorporations with boycotts, if they don't donate to his phony charities, Operation PUSH and Rainbow PUSH. These phony charities are run by family members and cronies.
If Jackson wasn't politically protected, he would have been prosecuted for racketeering long ago.
