Reverend Jesse Jackson Press Conference at The Council House

The Reverend Jesse Jackson has come to Nottingham as part of 'The Economics of Colour' tour to help launch the 'Equanomics Campaign' - the visit aims is to help achieve racial justice through economic equality.

He was an American Presidential Candidate [failed obviously] for the Democratic Party and general civil rights activist.

He has begun a tour of cities across the country to present a radical move to tackle the economic inequalities faced by Britain's ethnic minorities.

The group organising said they'll soon have 200,000 members - and companies which don't achieve more equality at a senior level could even face a boycott.

After this event at the Council House, he went on to address a meeting of 600 people at the Pilgrim Church, Queen's Walk, in the Meadows

Other places he's visiting are:

Bristol
London
Birmingham
Leicester
Nottingham
Liverpool
Manchester
Sheffield
Bradford
