Jesse Jackson's 1984 Democratic National Convention speech at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. He talks about the mess that Reagan has made, with tax cuts to the rich, cuts from social security, etc. and how Reagan is depending on the South to win him the votes, and how the South is unnaturally conservative since they are the poorest states in the country. Jackson says how the US needs a change from Reagan and his policies. He talks about how the country lives in a world that knows too much about nuclear war, and how Reaganism does not work with that.
