Philadelphia Eagles star wideout DeSean Jackson is continuing to take steps to educate himself on Judaism and the Jewish community amid the fallout from an Instagram post that falsely attributed anti-Semitic quotes to Adolph Hitler.
Jackson has spoken with Patriots star Julian Edelman, who reached out to Jackson and offered to visit a Holocaust museum with the Eagles star and then, in turn, will visit the African American museum as both players take steps to learn and educate each other about their respective cultures.
Jeff Skversky of 6ABC is reporting that Jackson has been in touch with Jewish community leaders and also met with an elder Holocaust victim to further educate himself on the atrocities suffered by that community.
I’m told DeSean Jackson is scheduled to meet with a 94 year-old Holocaust survivor today & met with an anti-Semitic organization yesterday

There have been calls for the Eagles to move on from Jackson but it appears after conversations with both Jeffrey Lurie and Howie Roseman, that DeSean’s actions moving forward will determine his place with the franchise two months from now.
