Photo shows two women with their hands linked and raised up. Handwritten on the back, "Freda R. Wright (left), Kathleen C. Wright (right), lock hands at the end of Jackson speech." In the background behind the women, are other people also holding hands, and a sign that says "Jesse Jackson." Both of the women are wearing Walter Mondale support buttons. From the Oakland Tribune, July 18, 1984, article titled "Jackson's fervent speech rouses convention to impassioned ovation" by Will Jones and Gerald Davis: "San Francisco--They cheered. They danced in the aisles. People of all colors hugged one another, and swayed together. The Rev. Jesse Jackson who had delegates at the Democratic National Convention wondering whether he would support the party's presidential nominee left no doubt about where he stands. Jackson was cheered for nearly 10 minutes by delegates from every state, who applauded the speech's theme of impassioned unity. Jackson has only about 400 of the 1,967 delegates needed for the Democratic presidential nomination, but the crowd reacted as though he were the nominee. The leading candidate Walter F. Mondale, who expects to receive the nomination today said Jackson's speech was 'powerful, compelling, a stirring moral appeal to our nation for justice.' In the California delegation, Jackson's speech provoked both tears and ecstasy among his supporters. And, among the state Democratic Party's Jewish members, widespread acceptance of his conciliatory gestures. All of the state's Jackson delegation and many fellow Hart delegates joined hands and swayed rhythmically to a hymn after the speech. Keith Carson, of Oakland, a Jackson delegate said: 'Jesse Jackson is letting America know the issues are still there, even though the Democratic Party has not seen fit to raise the issues.' Sunne McPeak, Contra Costa County supervisor and a Hart delegate said: 'It was just marvelous. He end[ed] up bringing the whole party together. All those Jackson signs you saw weren't just being waved by Jackson delegates.' 'His speech was fantastic,' said Wendell Phillips, a delegate from Baltimore. 'Only Jesse can do that.' 'It gave the convention a feeling of unity. I really enjoyed it,' said George Comerford, a white Florida delegate and a Mondale supporter. Carolyn Meub, a Vermont delegate and Mondale supporter, said the speech brought tears to her eyes. 'There was so much fear that the convention would be disrupted' because of a possible fight over Jackson's minority planks, she said. 'But his speech shows that the party will leave here united,' she said while dancing with a male delegate in the aisles. 'It was the most rousing speech of the convention so far,' said Georgia delegate Mike Russell, a Jackson supporter. 'He captured the essence of what this party is all about. He is the future of the party.' Joe Martin, a Mondale supporter from Florida, said Jackson 'tells it like it is.' He had a 'right-on speech.' Jackson's delivery was interrupted numerous times by applause from delegates of all colors and backgrounds. They stood and cheered when Jackson said, 'We must turn to each other and not on each other.' 'It was an excellent speech. It addressed the total concerns of the human rights community,' said Coretta Scott King, widow of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 'I think he's now ready to join forces with the rest of those who support Mondale.' Hyman Bookbinder of the American Jewish Committee said Jackson 'was very generous and gracious about the differences between himself and the Jewish community.' 'This was the best Jesse Jackson I've heard on the issue. However, civility doesn't wipe out the differences. 'There are differences on policy issues, and we want to be able to discuss them without being called racist,' Bookbinder said." This photo was not printed in the Oakland Tribune.
