More quotes by 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
Inclusion is not a matter of political correctness. It is the key to growth.
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
Iraq will drive American agenda for a long time because Iraq policy has so damaged America in the Middle East region, left us isolated. We are there now by brute strength, we are not there because we are desired.
Jesse Jackson
I am - Somebody. I may be poor, but I am - Somebody! I may be on welfare, but I am - Somebody! I may be uneducated, but I am - Somebody! I must be, I'm God's child. I must be respected and protected. I am black and I am beautiful! I am - Somebody! Soul Power!
Jesse Jackson
[Donald Trump] said it`s against affordable health care for poor people and will not fight to raise wages for working poor people, that`s pushing all of them in terms of policy.
Jesse Jackson
No one should negotiate their dreams. Dreams must be free to fly high.
Jesse Jackson
America is not a blanket woven from one thread, one color, one cloth.
Jesse Jackson
If you wear a hoodie but aren't registered to vote, you got the symbolism but missed the substance.
Jesse Jackson
Our flag is read, white and blue, but our nation is a rainbown-red, yellow, brown, black and white - and we're all precious in God's sight.
Jesse Jackson
I preach nonviolence because it's the better alternative.
Jesse Jackson
Most blacks will argue that they excel because of hard work, because of intellect, determination, sweat, blood, tears and risk.
Jesse Jackson
[Donald Trump] can`t reach out and push off at the same time when he says - he says we want the ban on assault weapons, because they`re so very dangerous, and background checks on guns, given the level of violence in the country, he says he wants more guns to make us more secure.
Jesse Jackson
I had gained a greater appreciation of hearing the concerns of woman, doctors, and so many others.
Jesse Jackson
If you and I got on an airplane, you're going to L.A., Los Angeles, and I'm going to Senegal, we get there about the same time. The world is just that small. So a world that is so tightly bound by science and technology and now Internet and the web page, that world is too small for bullies. It has no room in that world for arrogance.
Jesse Jackson
We've removed the ceiling above our dreams. There are no more impossible dreams.
Jesse Jackson
When we were hit on 9/11 it took us a few weeks to get the coalition together because [George] Bush had come in with a kind of narrow ideology, looking at the world, I'd say, through a keyhole and not through a door.
Jesse Jackson
The white Christian church never raised to the heights of Christ. It stayed within the limit of culture.
Jesse Jackson
Our premise is that inclusion leads to growth. So for those who are locked out, they lose development, and those who are in power lose market and growth.
Jesse Jackson
At the end of the day, we must go forward with hope and not backward by fear and division.
