Jesse Jackson Launches Wall Street Campaign
The Rev. Jesse Jackson called on Sunday for major corporations to begin investing at least 5 percent of its assets in minority-owned investment firms.

Jackson said “We fought a few years ago to get corporations to divest and disinvest to end South African apartheid. We must now fight to get them to invest to end American apartheid.”
