Civil rights activist Jesse Jackson revved up hundreds of protesters Saturday night at the Portland Justice Center, recounting his time in Ferguson, Missouri and invoking the crowd to repeat Jackson’s words, chanting them back to him.
Jackson’s speech was the opener to over four hours of protesting through Portland streets, promoted as dissatisfaction over the grand jury decision in the shooting death of Michael Brown.
"The fact is, for three and a half months, this was no jury of substance," Jackson said during his speech according to OregonLive. “No jury of integrity. No real America. This was a hangman’s noose,” Jackson said to the crowd.
"Michael Brown is more alive than his killer," KGW Portland reported of Jackson’s words. Jackson called for increased federal investigations into the Brown case and more federal intervention when police shootings occur. He indicated a need to overcome the bias he perceived, invoking the killing of Medger Evers
