Jesse Jackson
I preach nonviolence because it's the better alternative.
Jesse Jackson

Jesse Jackson
What is the American dream? The American dream is one big tent. One big tent. And on that big tent you have four basic promises: equal protection under the law, equal opportunity, equal access, and fair share.
Jesse Jackson
It is in struggle and service with our brothers and sisters, individually and collectively, that we find the meaning of life.
Jesse Jackson
You really need a renewed commitment for the direct investment of jobs at the bottom.
Jesse Jackson
