More quotes by Jesse Jackson
There's great disparity between who goes to college and who goes to jail. Who lives long and who dies prematurely, is the defining issue of our time. And I submit to you, there's a significant race dimension, it is basically class-driven.
Jesse Jackson
What's good for Blacks is good for all of America.
Jesse Jackson
Let nothing and nobody break your spirit. Let the unity in the community remain intact.
Jesse Jackson
I had gained a greater appreciation of hearing the concerns of woman, doctors, and so many others.
Jesse Jackson
Hymies. And Hymietown.
Jesse Jackson
You may choose your mate, but you cannot deny someone else the right to choose their mate.
Jesse Jackson
If you wear a hoodie but aren't registered to vote, you got the symbolism but missed the substance.
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
So many bright stars, bright in life, burn out quickly.
Jesse Jackson
Music of all arts should be expansive and inclusive.
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
On the political front, of course it's a zero-sum game. If it's all white males holding positions, you bring 10 women in, then it's, 'Women are coming!' Get 10 blacks and it's, 'Blacks are coming!' 'Hispanics are coming!' Zero-sum game. The seatmates might change but the chairs don't move. In the economy, the number of chairs can actually increase.
Jesse Jackson
There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps... then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.
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
What we have to be judged by is the work we try to do. It's public service, not perfect service.
Jesse Jackson
You can't teach what you don't know. And you can't lead where you don't go.
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
Everywhere I go, kids walk around not with books under their arms, but with radios up against their heads. Children can't read or write, but they can memorize whole albums.
