[applause] and to all of you here today this issue of violence is a complex and challenging one. No one need to be self rightious about it because there is no instant answer to the things that all of us must. Do i am impressed with the religious communities coming together. At least we should know that the issue today is peace is not the absence of noise. Its the presence of justice. When there is no justice there is no peace and when there is poverty and pain people search out for a bomb and put off that bomb. The excitement is that were here today with each other. We at best can reach out to those who are not here because its not just a matter can be solved with an enlightened church. The killing in kansas city, a football player, his wife and himself. Three or 4 nfl players say they carry a gun and with basketball players the same. Somewhere were sitting around watching San Francisco play miami excited who will win that game. Of the tens of thousands that watch those games those rol
Peace in a community. Jesse jackson has been the needle. He has been the thread through the agency of Rainbow Push Coalition pulling together all of these broken fabrics of society in order that we might hope for, look for, and look for eternalally a Better Society in which we will be no more beset with bigotry and classicism and racism and all of the isms that tear the very fabric of society. He has paid the price for freedom. He has paid the price for peace. He has paid the price for social betterment. I present to you a better that knows how to pay the price for a beautiful quilt, peace in San Francisco with jobs, with quality education and jobs and surl celebration and bring to you Jesse Jackson who will speak to you and how we pay the price for peace in this city. [applause] amos, are you presenting me with the quilt . I want my quilt. I want my quilt. I am delighted to be here with you today. So many years ago i met dr. King and i went to minnesota and reverend amos was then past
I think produce models that potentially have answers for everybody else, so i will continue talking about this. It is part of who i am. Its the part of me that keeps me focused on what i have to do in this city, and just because we win a world series that we have Technology Companies coming in that will not allow me to rest. That is not something i say makes me so happy. I am happy if every community in the city experiences the hope that others have in the city and you cant do that if you have a lot of violence so thank you very much for being here today and i invite you to continue dialoguing with us and consider this yet another beginning of this effort that we will continue on and on. Thank you. [applause] thank you mr. Mayor. Let me pause here just before we bringure our next speaker and presenter to acknowledge each of the members of clergy and faith leaderships, so if youre here and a part of clergy or faith leadership if you would stand please. [applause] thank you so much. Agai

Somewhere were sitting around watching San Francisco play miami excited who will win that game. Of the tens of thousands that watch those games those role models on the field are not ministers. Those athletes have a role to play in diffusing this crisis in our culture. Those that do music and art and attract by the thousands. We pay to hear them sing and watch them perform. They must lift their art above deck dance and inspire and something blowing in the wind and cant recycle our worse f
Students. Dr. Brown and members of the class and knew them before and before then and he brings a lean yaj of struggle to the table every time he speaks with tremendous morale authority and stroke couldnt stop him for fight wg great power. [applause] i want to thank mayor ed lee for convening the family. For all the times we think of leading from the front. Often you lead from the center. You have the power to convene the family, to look at a family crisis and think it through, and it figure it out, and if we can get out of our owns self way we might find solutions to a problem that is multifaceted. I want to thank pastor bryant here who is the spokesman in the state and reverend brown and used his zeal and intelligence, his will to fight. He is a preacher, pastor, teacher, musician and a San Francisco giant fanatic. [applause] and to all of you here today this issue of violence is a complex and challenging one.
