On December 14, 1982 at the National Hispanic Univeristy in San Jose, Reverend Jackson speaks about the inferior role of Hispanics, Blacks, and Native Americans in White America. He encourages these minority groups to unite and work together to gain back their basic human rights and break down corporate and political divisions.
