Does anybody out there remember the old Capital Theatre, when Jesse Jackson back in the l970’s was there with Operation Breadbasket. Does anyone remember his body guards that was always dressed in black attire. He would have us raise our right fist and he had a band that was out of sight.

As a teenager my brother and I would go the Captial Theatre with my father who was very active in civil rights. Jesse Jackson was over operation breadbasket, and he had body guards there, all on the stage where he was speaking and on the floor -they where always dressed in black. He had a great band too playing music, and we would clap our hands in time with the music and raise out right fist to “I am somebody"
