a ten thousand people to run for office at every level and to affirm his belief that leadership has color and jenn louis reverend jesse l jackson is now running as a black candidate and forging a rainbow coalition of the rejected that would include whites blacks hispanics indians asian women for people and young people senior citizens farmers way worse than this person's peace activists and gay people we will form in human rights and civil liberties of people would be a testament to you that the days will be a part of this coalition i think that we are as an american people leadership most about another law and the civil liberties of a lot of the people to make sense for the law allows people to the chew the use of their body now the fact is we must know the consequences of our choices and there are moments that are not embrace but i do support

all american citizens to help equal protection under the law and within the law and people should not be punished because of a choice they make one is a sex show us all in terms of where she was and how she would use about a well across on that is if his black hispanic all female we should not in a longer have made as a punishment based upon race religious exercise practice the reverend jackson stay in texas he spoke to students at southern methodist university bishop carlos takes is a male and the university of texas at austin while in austin he stopped to speak with former congresswoman barbara jordan sky has at the lbj school of public affairs i as reverend jackson wise spoke with ms jordan and his views on us foreign policy and south africa well they have a chance to share with aplomb and jordan and ray marshall made the command classes she has a classic and

political ethics and leadership that will motivate the markets fall opinion polls leadership that will have a split the shallows addition to a couple of equal protection on the mall all when the women so of the population are not a poet a bagel rights is unethical and must become illegal in fact women must before the competition on the mall and blacks hispanics and asians indians we must make wrong the people and also talk in some measure in that class all about stewart's becoming more active you know twenty nine million viewers between ages are young women ages eighteen and twenty four jen averages of them go on a couple of the senate races that you consider the numbers of votes that reagan won by the margin is less than the minimum on the right is the students and so the revival of teenagers

in the political process is a great source of inspiration out of thing that the present policy all the moment almost a basic performance a manifest destiny no different in choosing the formal negotiations it is a way of progress of isolating america from the world community in the room or a more dangerous place in which to live i think his sense of oh mutual respect and reciprocity and human rights and democratic principles with a gag line all that determines how we engage in foreign policy for example latin america is not out national business they are our neighbors and the memories are out that neighbors of our mission to engage in effect the over the overthrow all the government warmer and violet its sovereignty

on is illegal but is also an ethical and it is short sighted and as a unifying the wrong side of his traveling without investment in an one reason the somoza forty years that for the turin there in the first place by a nation to embrace the tyranny of el salvador is a unifying with the wrong side of history our nation loses its credibility as a moral authority its legitimacy will invade a lot of our nation the size of a roommate and a lot of them are in front of the people might not have adequate information de facto maddy is the fact that many as six small nations was really not signatories should not have remarkable what lawyers do is we often that sort of acrimonious that invasion was planned almost jon is right now information is coming out and bits and pieces as to how many people would kill all american soldiers to kind of not afforded to

the remaining is beyond that but perhaps even beyond the numbers themselves if in fact we cannot all all at once reconcile being an occupying force without democratic principles that uses less ability the germans found that that shot of russia invading afghanistan owes the cabin question specifically lasted all before reagan came in using human rights approach and not expanding economic times are bad reviews are peppered with about to send a cease fire agreement a swap or the originator product was a reagan came into office the first word has the walls up that that was a signal this relationship between america and south africa was about to take on a new dimension as though it was going to be working on south africa back away from the agreement and that america south africa's number one trading partner was a source of shame a sort of disgraceful in the markets awesome if you that remarkable accounts

for them because so because of his brick and solidarity union because of its martial law that is consistent with american ideals they can do that with and for people in poland and become south africa's moment for obama when it breaks a solidarity and imposed martial law is inconsistent moment we must have and foreign policy and is a measure all consistency in the world right after about two and a half hour delay a presidential candidate the reverend jesse l jackson spoke to about twelve hundred people jammed inside the texas union ballroom wine estimated six hundred others was to listen from entrance into the ballroom reverend jackson performance was part showbiz part gospel meeting and part politics but all jesse jackson he reminded students that every student generation must assume responsibility to serve its present age

if we bought this morning oh the opportunity to change how the recession which i'm looking at rain what a blast that why i said it hispanics asians and may augment the mailman seeing is the engine of the people making the decision mm hmm in the polls are doing a decision has been made the players who each other and not only jobs plan as far it's bleak

must assume responsibility to serve your present age to assume you know the knowledge all together they got into a bridge again out on the baby is this innovative crowd they do the whole what was an innovative and next year because they'd have a reagan and be quiet right now is the stage when a lot of apartheid existed in this country that blacks hispanics in minnesota's use

the battle of the plant is bad medicine now democracy with invasion and occupation you that it's a revelation and jazz last month's mayo does oh all along rows of the last words you say it you know he's after the rally of universe of tech so often reverend jackson attended a private dinner in his honor there's something in the air between the captured and taken

to his horizon to its this level on television bill is going to rise oh that was bad but now we have a generation that's willing to try this political system again we'll have some justification because the system has made a marvelous accommodation people locked up and in that requirement of age film is relax and have the right or the space in their rightful it isn't eligible for twenty years ago now to talk about the convention in san francisco the report that was a female that episode like a hispanic was asians it means all the martyrs in collision of a new majority in the famous state party leaders about to make its revenue and
