Jesse Jackson's 1984 Democratic National Convention speech at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. He talks about how America is more like a blanket than a quilt, with different pieces of cloth all held together with one common thread, and how everyone must come together. He talks about how America has gone through pain, but has also made progress in the past few decades. He says that the party must choose higher ground and work above the mess that has been created. Jackson talks about the Rainbow Coalition and their work with underrepresented communities.
