The Rev. Jesse Jackson spoke with V.F. to address this volatile moment: “We know that in the face of violence, with discipline, with dignity, our message is threatened”
—civil rights activist, minister, and two-time presidential candidate—visited Minneapolis last week. The city remains wrought with anguish and rocked by civil unrest in the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd.
We’re in an ocean of violence. We know that in the face of violence, with discipline, with dignity, our message is threatened. “How many stores have been burned and looted?”—becomes the message. [Instead] our message has to do with: “How can we stop lynching? Those who do engage in this behavior must face swift justice.” That message is lost when you are distracted [by the torching and looting]. Dr.
I don’t know if it’s to reach his base or not. But it’s not just racist. When people walk up with AK-47s into the statehouse in Michigan for their demonstrations? The governor’s white. She’s female. That’s fomenting violence. We must resolve problems in a civil way, not through violence.To show sympathy. Encourage the government to prosecute murders.
Black Lives Matters heightens political consequences. The killing of people without consequence heightens political consciousness. It was really kind of born in Ferguson, Missouri, with Trayvon Martin being killed, and Amadou Diallo being killed. And for so many, their lives didn’t matter. So Black Lives Matter came out of the concreteness of the situation, expressing the spirit of our times, where we say, “All Lives Matter.” But most of those being shot in the back by police are blacks.
