progressive democrats of america, the arab american institute, and our revolution for having the foresight to acknowledge the role that reverend jesse jackson has played in changing the destiny of our nation. when john called me a couple of days ago and asked me to speak for a few moments before the first panel, i gave some reflection to the long campaign. the year was 1965 when a young seminary student from chicago theological seminary met martin luther king jr. and john lewis in the historic march for the right to vote from selma to montgomery. the civil rights act of 1960 four had already culminated a huge victory from all struggles since the inception of the republic. by 1965, with the murder of jimmie lee jackson and marion, alabama, the movement under louis leadership turned his attention to the voting rights act of 19 65. so dramatically matched it -- etched in the memory of every american on the edmund pettus bridge and hastily called for address to the congress, lyndon johnson said, at times history and fate meet at a single time and in a single place to shape the turning point in man's unending search for freedom. so it was at lexington and concorde, so it was a century ago, and
