“To allow injustice and inequality invites a Ferguson to your community. We must stand together, black, white, brown, red, and yellow and fight for justice and equality for all. It's the only way to avoid more Fergusons.”

“I was born in a slum, but the slum wasn't born in me.”
Jesse Jackson“We have to judge politicians by their cumulative score. In one innings they make a great catch, in another they drop the ball. In one they score a home run, in another they strike out. But it is their cumulative batting average that we are interested in.”
Jesse Jackson“Many are observing Ferguson and witnessing the anger, demonstrations, looting and vandalism and calling for quiet. But quiet isn't enough. The absence of noise isn't the presence of justice - and we must demand justice in Ferguson and the other 'Fergusons' around America.”
Jesse Jackson“It is a historical error for those who were not there to just refer to August 28th as 'I Have a Dream' speech day. That is a real disservice to those who were there. It was a sad day. It was not a celebration environment.”
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“Both tears and sweat are salty, but they render a different result. Tears will get you sympathy; sweat will get you change.”
Jesse Jackson“Many kids come out of college, they have a credit card and a diploma. They don't know how to buy a house or a car or health insurance or life insurance. They do not know basic microeconomics.”
Jesse Jackson“Leadership has a harder job to do than just choose sides. It must bring sides together.”
Jesse Jackson“Leadership cannot just go along to get along. Leadership must meet the moral challenge of the day.”
Jesse Jackson“Time is neutral and does not change things. With courage and initiative, leaders change things.”
