Unfortunate. Unfortunate. Sometimes people struggling for freedom lose their way.
Jesse Jackson
When we're unemployed, we're called lazy when the whites are unemployed it's called a depression.
Jesse Jackson
The interest right now is taking resources back to the state and allowing the minority to have tyranny over the minority. It's an ideological power grab. It's like in this Congressional rebellion they are willing to sink the ship to destroy the captain.
Jesse Jackson

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
Deliberation and debate is the way you stir the soul of our democracy.
Jesse Jackson
We live on the dash between our birth date and our death date.
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
In politics, an organized minority is a political majority.
Jesse Jackson
We are facing a stiff wind right now, but if we persist and keep fighting back, we will prevail.
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
