More quotes by Jesse Jackson
When it came to the division of power, we did not get from the Jews the slice of cake we deserved... the Jews do not share with us control of wealth, broadcasting stations and other centers of power.
Jesse Jackson
It's not enough to be quiet. Quietness is the absence of noise. We need peace, the presence of justice and to be - and so people here can coexist and live together.
Jesse Jackson
Abortion is black genocide...What happens to the mind of a person and the moral fabric of a nation that accepts the aborting of the life of a baby without a pang of conscience?
Jesse Jackson
The laws are stacked for the wealthy.
Jesse Jackson
You are not going to revive the unemployment of 26 million Americans with tax cuts.
Jesse Jackson
Inclusion is not a matter of political correctness. It is the key to growth.
Jesse Jackson
Workers, black and white, need some kind of international affirmative action to protect them from unfair competition with unorganized or slave labor abroad and unfair competition with robots at home.
Jesse Jackson
For me, Barack Obama's election was a milestone of the most extraordinary kind. On the day he was elected I felt such hope in my heart. I thought we were seeing the beginning of a new era of equal opportunity across race and gender such as America had never known before.
Jesse Jackson
Many have fought for and even lost their lives to end segregation, to win the right to vote. It disappoints me to now have to cajole people to register and to vote.
Jesse Jackson
Race designation is a political designation.
Jesse Jackson
God doesn't make orange juice, God makes oranges.
Jesse Jackson
I preach nonviolence because it's the better alternative.
Jesse Jackson
Urban America has been redlined. Government has not offered tax incentives for investment, as it has in a dozen foreign markets. Banks have redlined it. Industries have moved out, they've redlined it. Clearly, to break up the redlining process, there must be incentives to green-line with hedges against risk.
Jesse Jackson
Pictures can live in one's memory. That's why they are important.
Jesse Jackson
We must not measure greatness from the mansion down, but from the manger up. Jesus said that we should not be judged by the bark we wear but by the fruit that we bear. Jesus said that we must measure greatness by how we treat the least of these.
Jesse Jackson
George Bush has met more foreign heads of state than I have. But a substantial number of them were dead.
Jesse Jackson
I was blessed to go abroad and bring Americans home from jail in Syria, and Iraq, and Cuba, and Yugoslavia, and Liberia, those are high moments of my life.
Jesse Jackson
When everyone is included, everyone wins.
Jesse Jackson
It is a historical error for those who were not there to just refer to August 28th as 'I Have a Dream' speech day. That is a real disservice to those who were there. It was a sad day. It was not a celebration environment.
Jesse Jackson
Politicians refuse to modernize schools, they cut out midnight basketball, but build all these new jails. First class jails, second class schools. This is zero tolerance.
Jesse Jackson
