9. Jesse Jackson
Jackson visited Zuccotti Park on October 18 with a very interesting message for the crowds. Reverend Jesse Jackson told a crowd of Occupy London protesters that they’re in good company as their demonstrations stretch past the two-month mark, because Jesus was an Occupier as well. “Jesus was an Occupier, born under a death warrant, a Jew by religion, born in poverty under Roman occupation,” Jackson told the 200-person crowd in front of St. Paul’s Cathedral Thursday, MSNBC reported. ”Gandhi was an Occupier, Martin Luther King was an Occupier, [Nelson] Mandela was an Occupier.” Jackson has been holding strong at the protests and is even camping out on the steps of St. Paul’s Cathedral since he first arrived in October.
