More quotes by Jesse Jackson

'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

Jesse Jackson
You must never stop dreaming. Face reality, yes. But don't stop with the way things are dream of things as they ought to be. Dream of peace. Peace is rational and reasonable. War is irrational in this age and unwinnable.
Jesse Jackson

Race designation is a political designation.
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
