America's poor--particularly the black and brown people in America's inner cities--are caught in the grip of an economic crisis "many times bigger than the Savings and Loan scandal." In a visit with The Nation, the Rev. Jesse Jackson urges action, calling for a "Resolution Trust Corporation" and action by the leading Democratic presidential contenders to face this crisis before it gets any worse. In this VideoNation commentary, Rev. Jackson lays out the problem and his vision for change, starting with a December 10th march on Wall Street.
