Jesse Jackson talks King's assassination

Rev. Jesse Jackson details his memory of Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination and the violence that accompanied the civil rights movement.

[NkrumahTure]

Dr. King was only 39 years old. He was still a young man.

[franceswalker]

Jesse needs to take a lie detector test.

[jerrodmecca]

You can't avoid ambush and sabatoge, you can not live in fear. Dr.King❤

[marlyn]

He should never speak about MLK. Never.

[gtreal]

You was part of the whole operation, you played both sides to live

[chrisjohnson]

1. Jesse, what was in the tote bag?
2. Why weren't you wearing a shirt and tie that day?
3. How did you get out of Memphis?
4. Why did you lie on MEET THE PRESS about King having you to make the speech when everyone knew that Ralph Abernathy was the ONLY one who could speak for him?
5. Why did Bobby Rush hide out at your house the night when Chairman Fred Hampton and Mark Clark were assassinated?

I think that martin luther king may have been an angel sent here to earth

[stephanie]

It's funny how he still has to come 2nd to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I feel like he's been kept alive all of these years as punishment for what he was involved in!!

[andrewcharley]

Any honest investigation into Dr kings demise does not paint Jessie Jackson in a favourable light.

[Tommi]

I've lost all respect for fake messy Jesse!!!!

[ritadaniels]

This was one of the most terrible things that could have ever happened in our days during those days of our life time sake.

[mv-xlyo]

I never trusted Jesse...
Never will...
Even today, he still stands for himself and no one else.

[cudispazzzin]

He was the one that called to change the Docs Room to an upstairs room .

[ceddagr]

Two days prior, Jesse you made a call... may you never rest well!

[JeriDro]

if someone was shot next to you would you stand there and point?? he was in on the setup

[georichie]

From what I read Martin didn’t die where they said he died. He was still alive after getting shot. There’s pictures in videos that shows him in the hospital after getting shot . In that Jessie was apart of trying to get him killed . New reporter says he was a actually smothered with a pillow in the hospital

[LordHaveMurcielago]

And he is STILL not wearing a tie! Wow!

I Know Jesse Jackson Got Martin Killed, He Did Work With Him Back In 1966 68, At April 1968 Dr. King Was Shot, And His Friends: Ralph Abernathy, Andrew Young, And Bernard Lee Went To The Hospital. And Jesse Stayed At The Motel And Lied And Made A False Statement Saying This: I Ran Up To The Balcony So Fast, And I Caught His Head. And Asked (2x) Dr. King Do Hear Me? And He Didn't Say Anything, And I Tried To Hold His Head At The Time He Was Shot. (Jesse Jackson Got MLK Killed And Left Memphis And Went Back To Chicago. (Andrew Young, Ralph Abernathy, Hosea Williams, James Orange, And James Bevel Stayed At Room 306 At The Lorraine Motel. And Doesn't Know What To Do Without Dr. King.)

I Already Read The Book Called: An Act Of State By: William Pepper.

Jackson lied about being on the balcony when King was shot, saying he held him in his arms. Untrue. It was Ralph Abernathy who held him after he was shot.

Jessie Jackson's speaking voice is where mumble rap came from.
