Civil rights leader the Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson is sponsoring the Third Annual National Day of Repudiation of Jesse Jackson. The event is held annually on the Rev. Martin Luther King holiday and "will be held every year until Jesse Jackson 'repents of his wrongs.'"
"Jesse Jackson is desperate and out of control," said Peterson, who has sued the corporate shakedown artist for civil rights violations and assault and battery.
"Jackson has recently attempted to undermine the Bush administration and the 'War on Terrorism' by trying to negotiate with the Taliban. Jackson is currently attempting to 'shake down' corporations like Toyota Motors to enrich himself and his cronies.
"He doesn't care about poor blacks, or any other Americans. He has pitted black against white, poor against rich, and his brand of exploitation has set race relations back 50 years - we're saying no more! We are calling on all Americans of goodwill to stand against racist demagogues of every color," said Peterson, founder of BOND, the Brotherhood Organization of A New Destiny.
The event will take place from 12 noon to 2 p.m. PST Monday in front of Jackson's Rainbow/PUSH offices, 5750 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles.
