Every now and then Jesse Jackson has to try and convince people he's still needed. But since it's increasingly clear he's not, fearmongering is the only arrow left in the quiver:

Fifty years later [after Rosa Parks' bus trip], the forces of reaction are gathering strength, even as we see how far we have yet to go. It is time for this nation to move forward once more or face a reckoning that none of us wants.

For twenty-odd years Jackson has been criss-crossing the country exploiting every possible opportunity to mug for tv cameras with sinister warnings about the "forces of reaction."

Thankfully, Jackson's "It's Selma 1965 Again in America" act is so tired and out of touch today that he comes off like a star who once played to big crowds on Broadway but now does dinner theatre in Sarasota.
