Program Title:
The Use of race to confuse : Jesse Jackson at the N.A.A.C.P. Conference in Houston.
PRA Archive #: 
TZ0056.01
Description: 

Speech by Jesse Jackson which examines how the Bush administration has reduced matters of morality and law down to politics and race. The wealthy have benefitted from the Reagan-Bush legacy, but 1/3 of all children now live in poverty. Foreign policy has come to dominate the President's thinking, but domestic issues are all but ignored. The challenge is to help the underclass, and to remain clear about the source of problems in the United States: concentration of power and wealth in the elite. Do not be confused by Bush's use of race, for that is not where the problems lie in American society.|THE USE OF RACE TO CONFUSE : JESSE JACKSON AT THE N.A.A.C.P.
