Jesse Jackson Offers Support For Occupy London 
-----------------------------------------------



Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has offered his support for Occupy
London protesters. Jackson told the protesters camped out at St. Paul's
Cathedral their demonstration was reminiscent of the activism of many
historic figures.

Reverend Jesse Jackson: "Martin King was an occupier, Nelson Mandela was
an occupier, they are all exalted as martyrs now but rejected as
occupiers. As protesters they were radicals called terrorists by
governments. The occupiers cause is a just one. A moral cause."
