Jesse Jackson at Occupy Wall Street: “I am not visiting. I’m participating.”
Just before midnight on Tuesday 18th October 2011, New York Police Department officers moved in on the southwest corner of Liberty Park (Zuccotti Park), Lower Manhattan, the site of the Occupy Wall Street protests since Saturday 17th September. Their intention was to take down and confiscate a medical tent which had been erected during the day.
A commotion immediately erupted among the demonstrators. Occupiers rushed over and formed a human chain around the tent. The Reverend Jesse Jackson arrived to help. He told the occupiers: “I am not visiting. I’m participating.” When asked to link arms and help the occupiers defend the tent, Jackson linked arms with them. They stood their ground and persuaded the NYPD to back down. The medical tent remained in place.
