Final Jeopardy! Category: Politicians
Final Jeopardy! Clue: In a 1984 speech, he said, “Our flag is red, white & blue” but America has “many colors…held together by a common thread”
In order to redesign our merchandise area to serve you better in 2026, all merchandise sales have been temporarily taken offline. Look for a return in late 2026! All previous orders will still be supported.
Correct response: Who is Jesse Jackson?
More Information About Final Jeopardy!:
An important thing that I would like to note today: Today’s game was recorded on February 10, 2026, prior to Jesse Jackson’s death.
Widely known in the 1980s as one of the era’s most influential African-American activists, Jesse Jackson was the founder of the Rainbow/PUSH coalition, having pursued social justice for over 50 years, as well as running for the Democratic nomination for President twice in the 1980s, finishing third in 1984 and second in 1988. The speech referred to in today’s Final Jeopardy clue was given by Jackson at the 1984 Democratic National Convention on July 18, 1984, speaking of America as a quilt of many patches held together with a common thread. PBS’s Frontline has the full text of the speech.
Should this clue play 3/3? Yes. Will this clue play easier at home than anyone thought at time of taping, because of Jackson’s passing? Yes. I hope it does play 3/3 today, for the sake of our contestants.

Andy’s Thoughts:
- I think today’s game illustrates why it’s probably not the best idea to just go for a shoutout in Final Jeopardy—because the subject of the clue could die between taping and airing and you’re now seen as going for a shoutout instead of attempting to name a recently-deceased major African-American figure. I can see a lot of fans being very offended by this tonight.
- Today’s J!6 clues can be found at the monthly archive.
Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:
(Scores: Jamie $22,600 Robin $10,600 Luke $8,000)
Luke: In the battle for second, bet between $2,601 and $2,799. (Actual bet: $1,689)
Jamie: Bet no more than $1,399 and enjoy your win. (Actual bet: $33)
Robin: Standard cover bet is $5,401. (Actual bet: $5,600)
