More quotes by Jesse Jackson
Those who write the editorials and those who write the columns, they simply are unaccountable. They're free to impose their cultural politics in the name of freedom of the press.
Jesse Jackson
America is not a blanket woven from one thread, one color, one cloth.
Jesse Jackson
If you don't know what tomorrow holds, you need to know who holds tomorrow!

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

Jesse Jackson
So here we are today with a new conversation. When University of Georgia plays Georgia Tech, it's uniform color versus skin color. We have - we've overcome that level of racial fear.
Jesse Jackson
The great responsibility that we have today is to put the poor and the near poor back on front of the American agenda.
Jesse Jackson
Race designation is a political designation.
Jesse Jackson
Semi-automatic weapons are not just about gun control, they're about national security. You know that these weapons can shoot down airplanes, they can blow up railroads. This is really a whole national security issue.
Jesse Jackson
I had to steal to survive.
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
I'm not wasting my time with any more non-straight-talking candidates.
Jesse Jackson
