Rev. Jesse Jackson Tells #OccupyCincinnati Movement Is Like The Racial Equality Movement Of The 60s

Tuesday night, he told the crowd gathered at Piatt Park they were following in the footsteps of slain civil rights leader Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., by fighting for economic equality, and human rights. He says after King’s death, authorities moved on the protesters at the National Mall, with tear gas, like some modern Occupiers have faced. Jackson says there have been setbacks for today’s protesters, but he also sees progress, referring to recent decisions by banks not to raise debit card fees.
