MPR’s Gary Eichten reports on Reverend Jesse Jackson’s visit to the Twin Cities. In a speech, Jackson says local inner city shopping complex project is evidence of what can be done when people want something bad enough.
Jackson also states the country is in an economic depression, comments about President Ford, criticizes a surtax that will affect the poor and Black unemployment, and says what's needed is not more Democrats, but action by poor people and Black leaders.
