More quotes by 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
Let nothing and nobody break your spirit. Let the unity in the community remain intact.
Jesse Jackson
No one should negotiate their dreams. Dreams must be free to fly high.
Jesse Jackson
I was born in a slum, but the slum wasn't born in me.
Jesse Jackson
Deliberation and debate is the way you stir the soul of our democracy.
Jesse Jackson
Most blacks will argue that they excel because of hard work, because of intellect, determination, sweat, blood, tears and risk.
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
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
The trouble is that nonviolence is so often defined as refusal to fight, and that is the American definition of cowardice. In fact, marching unarmed against the guns and dogs of the police requires more courage than does aggression. The perverted idea of manhood coming from the barrel of a gun is what keeps people from understanding nonviolence.
Jesse Jackson
The charges that I am anti-Semitic are simply erroneous, felonious, and unceremonious. In fact, when I need a doctor, I always look for one with a Jewish name.
Jesse Jackson
People like to say don't abort, adopt. But I'm saying don't strip, scholarship.
Jesse Jackson
You may choose your mate, but you cannot deny someone else the right to choose their mate.
Jesse Jackson
George Bush has met more foreign heads of state than I have. But a substantial number of them were dead.
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
Black and Jewish leaders have been a coalition of conscience.
Jesse Jackson
The liberation of Blacks is not for Blacks only.
Jesse Jackson
God doesn't make orange juice, God makes oranges.
Jesse Jackson
I preach nonviolence because it's the better alternative.
Jesse Jackson
Our goal was not freedom. Freedom was the necessary prerequisite to get to equality.
Jesse Jackson
We must renew the economy from the bottom up, not top down.
Jesse Jackson
