Hundreds of Manchester people gathered in the AMC cinema halls when frontline activist and leader, Rev. Jesse Jackson visited the city. A key purpose of the event is to support the commemorate the abolition of the slave trade and to highlight the economic contribution of Black and Minority ethnic communities in the UK. Leading the crowd with his famous lines ‘I am somebody’, Jackson seems to have a great effect on everyone. For many, he remains in a league of fearless men who voice out in the face of tyranny. Operation Black Vote as the theme of his visit goes, is aimed at encouraging black people about the importance of their votes. Fearless Courageous Rev Jesse Jackson has always been in the struggle for equality (as opposed to freedom). According to him what was fought for was not freedom, it was equality, and it is sad that black people are not yet been treated equally with white people. He spoke about the evils of slavery and commended the great works done by our ‘founding fathers’ for their struggles. His struggle alongside Dr Martin Luther King Jr helped free Rosa Park and marked the beginning of the American apartheid. He spoke against all forms of violence, especially the killings amongst youth that is like getting rife. Though, a strong advocate for peace, Jackson is a tough man who believes in concious action to cause positive change and this is what he advocates wherever he goes.
