== Involvement in the Duke Lacrosse team controversy == {{main|Duke lacrosse case}} In 2006, Jesse Jackson promised the Rainbow/Push Coalition would pay [[Crystal Mangum]]'s college tuition. Mangum made [[false rape allegations]] against members of Duke University's men's lacrosse team who had hired her as a stripper. The charges were later dropped due to lack of evidence. Jackson said that whatever the outcome of the trial, the tuition offer would still be good.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/1091599/|title= Jesse Jackson Says Organization Will Pay Alleged Rape Victim's Tuition |access-date= January 7, 2007}}</ref>
