Jesse Jackson Urges WSSU Students To Register To Vote by Kenneth Raymond “We must use the necessary tools to im plement change in our society; a developed mind, high morality, and a voting card!” These were the words spoken by Rev. Jesse Jackson April 29th, before the students and faculty of Winston-Salem State University. Approximately 1800 people congregated in the Kenneth R. Williams Auditorium to hear the world renown political speaker en courage the students to register and vote. “We marched too long, paid too many taxes and fought too hard, for any black person not to be registered to vote,” said Rev. Jackson. “Those of you who have never registered to vote are like the South Africans,” said Rev. Jackson. “Your opinion is kept to yourself and your voice, concerning impor tant issues, have never been heard.” Rev. Jackson also stressed the impor tance of acquiring a quality education. Ac cording to Rev. Jackson “The one thing worse than not having opportunity is having opportunity and not using it. The one thmg worse than not going to school is going to school and not gaining knowledge.” Rev. Jackson encourages students to adopt high moral standards and conduct because it is not enough to demand first class rights without demonstrating first class behavior. He said students must say ‘no’ to drugs, no to drinking and ‘yes’ to self- respect and dignity. Rev. Jackson also addressed several other political issues such as the present situation of farmers, the Nuclear disaster in Kiev, and the U.S. assault on Libya. Jackson ended by requesting the audience to recite his soul-stirring “I am somebody” speech, afterwhich students were asked to stop in the lobby and register to vote. Ap proximately 175 students registered. During his speech Jackson also requested support of The Rainbow Coalition. Dona tions ranged from $100 to $5.
